The Company

The St. Kitts Nevis Anguilla Trading and Development Company Limited (TDC) is the parent entity of an umbrella of diversified companies.  Incorporated in 1973, it acquired the trading and other assets of J.W. Thurston and Company Limited and H. F. Wildy and Company Limited.

These companies, with over One hundred and fifty (150) years experience in Trading, Development, Agriculture, and Finance provided an ideal vehicle for expansion.  In 1974, in an effort to further broaden its trading base, the Company purchased the substantial trading stocks and agencies of A. M. Losada Limited, to meet the growing demands of the day.

In subsequent years, TDC developed a wide ranging portfolio of businesses that now includes; Construction and Building Materials, General Hardware, Vehicles and Spare Parts, Agriculture, Finance, Office Equipment and Supplies, and Maritime Supplies.  The Company has also purchased and established several subsidiaries that provide specialized services such as; Aircraft Handling, Auto Rentals, Hire Purchase Financing, General and Life Insurances, Real Estate Development, Hotel Operations, Tours and Excursions, and Mortgage and Consumer Financing.

As one of the leading businesses in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, TDC continues to revolutionize the trading and general business environment through ongoing expansion, diversification, acquisitions and joint ventures with several regional and international partners.  Additionally, it now boasts the largest shopping facility within the OECS, the TDC Home and Building Depot.

Having undertaken successful projects in Tourism, Commercial and Residential Developments, the Group's latest venture, the Sunrise Hills Villas, adds a new dimension to its Real Estate activities.

With high investor confidence, a sound financial footing, and its quest for Regional expansion, TDC listed on the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange (ECSE) in June of 2003 to give added value to its many shareholders.

Currently, the Group's corporate structure includes approximately 2170 shareholders, a Board of Directors, which is made up of five (5) Executive Directors and six (6) Non-Executive Directors, Parent Company departments, and Subsidiary and Associated Companies.
