The Bry­dens Group has an­nounced it is in the fi­nal stages of con­struc­tion of a new re­gion­al ware­house in T&T, a fa­cil­i­ty de­signed to an­chor its dis­tri­b­u­tion strat­e­gy across the south­ern Caribbean.

David Fran­co, re­gion­al busi­ness de­vel­op­ment di­rec­tor, pre­mi­um bev­er­ages at The Bry­dens Group, in a news re­lease yes­ter­day, said this move is ex­pect­ed to dri­ve op­er­a­tional ef­fi­cien­cies from source to con­sumer and add val­ue for its strong part­ner­ships with “world-class brands.”

This in­fra­struc­ture de­vel­op­ment co­in­cides with the an­nounce­ment that the group’s sub­sidiary, Stans­feld Scott Bar­ba­dos, has been ap­point­ed the of­fi­cial im­porter and ex­clu­sive dis­trib­u­tor for a range of brands with­in the Moët Hen­nessy port­fo­lio in Bar­ba­dos.

This ap­point­ment, ef­fec­tive Jan­u­ary 2026, fol­lowed the group’s long-stand­ing 20-year man­age­ment of the same port­fo­lio in T&T through AS Bry­den and Sons Hold­ings Ltd, the re­lease said.

“Through AS Bry­den and Sons Hold­ings Ltd, the Bry­dens Group has man­aged the full Moët Hen­nessy port­fo­lio in Trinidad and To­ba­go for over 20 years, build­ing deep brand eq­ui­ty and mar­ket lead­er­ship lo­cal­ly. Lever­ag­ing this ex­per­tise, the group has ex­tend­ed the part­ner­ship across its re­gion­al sub­sidiaries,” it said.

The agree­ment in­cludes icon­ic brands such as Veuve Clic­quot, Dom Perignon, Ru­inart, Krug, Ar­mand de Brignac, Chan­don, Glen­morang­ie, Belvedere, Ard­beg, Ter­razas de los An­des, Cheval des An­des, Cloudy Bay, Nu­man­thia, Vol­can and Em­i­nente.

Fran­co fur­ther stat­ed that the com­pa­ny’s strate­gic fo­cus re­mains on in­fra­struc­ture de­vel­op­ment and ac­qui­si­tions.

“Our strate­gic fo­cus on pur­pose­ful ac­qui­si­tions and in­fra­struc­ture de­vel­op­ment has po­si­tioned us to cap­ture ex­cit­ing growth op­por­tu­ni­ties in the Caribbean bev­er­age sec­tor. We are in­cred­i­bly proud of the growth we are see­ing at Stans­feld Scott, which in 2024 marked our en­try in­to the pre­mi­um bev­er­age mar­ket be­yond Trinidad. We are see­ing our re­gion­al busi­ness in­ter­ests en­hance val­ue for our share­hold­ers,” he said.

In ear­ly 2024, the Bry­dens Group ac­quired Stans­feld Scott Bar­ba­dos, the largest bev­er­age dis­tri­b­u­tion com­pa­ny on the is­land, in a deal that in­clud­ed six wine world re­tail lo­ca­tions.

In the same year, the group al­so ac­quired Caribbean Pro­duc­ers Ja­maica (CPJ) and its sub­sidiary CPJ St Lu­cia, and, while these com­pa­nies al­ready main­tained a re­la­tion­ship with Moët Hen­nessy, the part­ner­ship was ex­pand­ed un­der the Bry­dens Group’s stew­ard­ship to in­clude Glen­morang­ie, Ard­beg, WhistlePig and Chan­don sparkling wines—deep­en­ing the pre­mi­um spir­its and wines of­fer­ing in both mar­kets.

Last year, AS Bry­dens and Sons Guyana Inc com­menced op­er­a­tions and be­gan dis­tri­b­u­tion of the tra­di­tion­al Di­a­geo range of prod­ucts, ex­tend­ing the group’s pre­mi­um bev­er­age foot­print in­to an­oth­er high-growth ter­ri­to­ry.
