BRIDGETOWN, Barbados--Kooyman Megastore continues to contribute to the Barbados landscape – literally – by planting trees in tandem with the Barbadian Kooyman employees hired. Earlier this year the company indicated their plans to plant a tree for each employee hired, estimating that it will have approximately 120 employees when it reaches full operation.
Charlene Mullin, Barbados Marketing Officer for the store, joined with four new members of staff for the new planting. Kooyman joined with Future Centre Trust supporting the Future Trees programme. This is the second tree planting where palm trees were planted alongside the highway near Kooyman Megastore.
“We are happy there has been a move nationally to plant more trees with a push by the government as well, as it can only be positive for the country as a whole,” said Mullin. “We will continue to plant these trees, one for each employee to signify our plan to grow in Barbados with the public, beautifying Barbados and contributing to the comfort of Barbadians.”
Mullin was joined in the tree planting by Barbadian employees Trey Singh, Beverley Sealy, Shanice Davis and Noel Knights.
Currently the company is on track to open in the first quarter of 2020 and employees are working actively to ensure the timing stays on track.
