At Blue Waters, we love doing what we<br />
do, refreshing our consumers with quality,<br />
functional and great tasting beverages<br />
and we feel a deep sense of pride in<br />
providing them with beverages that they<br />
want and love. Through our employees,<br />
whose artistic work tells our story in a way<br />
that connects with our consumers, our<br />
consumers believe in our product quality<br />
and taste and this accomplishment is<br />
lived through the mission and vision<br />
adopted by Blue Waters employees in the<br />
Blue Waters Way. Building this emotional<br />
connection with our customers can be<br />
magical and we believe that this is what<br />
our customers have come to expect from<br />
us, every day.<br />
We are proud to be able to say, without<br />
exception, that Blue Waters products is<br />
proud to be made in Trinidad and Tobago<br />
and St. Lucia.<br />
Looking<br />
F o rwa r d<br />
We at Blue Waters want to continue in<br />
our drive for excellence to manufacture<br />
and create more products in our country.<br />
We cannot do it alone. Our suppliers,<br />
partners and peers must also join us in<br />
this journey. When consumers purchase<br />
products made in Trinidad and Tobago,<br />
we contribute to our local economy and<br />
as we continue to invest locally and<br />
create more opportunities for growth and<br />
employment, as a society, we are made<br />
better off.<br />
<strong>The</strong> TTMA can help us drive the initiative<br />
of Support Local / Buy Local by working<br />
with our Government authorities<br />
along with other Non-Government<br />
Organizations, Chambers and the wider<br />
private sector to work together on<br />
several fronts to inform consumers on the<br />
quality of local manufactured products,<br />
to reduce bureaucratic government<br />
processes by lobbying for change and<br />
by providing avenues to showcase local<br />
manufacturing in trade shows both at<br />
home and abroad.<br />
Given our current economic realities and<br />
with reference to the speech made by<br />
Mr. Arthur Lok Jack, we cannot continue<br />
to rely only our local market for revenue.<br />
We at Blue Waters see our markets as<br />
the Caribbean and beyond. <strong>The</strong> need<br />
for export to drive the inflow of foreign<br />
currency is necessary to continue to<br />
diversify away from our reliance as an<br />
economy on oil and gas, manufacturing<br />
should lead this call. We at Blue Waters<br />
are doing our part and have established<br />
a sister plant in St. Lucia, Blue Waters St.<br />
Lucia Limited, to serve markets across<br />
the region and also, major distribution<br />
partners in several Caribbean countries.<br />
Blue Waters continues to look for new<br />
opportunities and avenues for investment<br />
and export.<br />
We wish to thank the TTMA for again<br />
recognizing our contribution to Trinidad<br />
and Tobago and look forward to further<br />
discourse on how Blue Waters as a<br />
company can contribute positively<br />
to Trinidad and Tobago and its<br />
manufacturing sector.<br />
