In recent years this trust has been able to fund a beautiful, architect designed factory in the village. This has hugely improved the working conditions for our producer partners, giving them light spacious airy units in which to work, and importantly for them, bringing them all together in one location, The building is on the edge of the village and is surrounded by coconut groves and rice paddy fields. In January 2006 a grand inaugural ceremony was held and Carolyn Whitwell who started the Bishopston Trading Company in 1985 officially opened the buildings.
