In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl’s devastation, Woodcats International, a subsidiary of Derrimon Trading Company Limited (DTL), is aiding recovery efforts by providing materials for the renovation of roofs for two deserving families in St Elizabeth. The gesture was welcomed by Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining and Member of Parliament for St Elizabeth South Western, Floyd Green.

A company release noted the process and motivation: “The devastation in St Elizabeth, especially in the southern region, was profound, with extensive damage including fallen poles, downed cell towers, and numerous homes completely ruined. Earlier this year, Derrimon Trading Company provided over 200 care packages to residents in St Elizabeth and Clarendon, offering essential supplies and support in the wake of the hurricane’s destruction.
