About us

West Indian Traders Limited was founded by Michael and Deirdre Seheult, and Rene Buissant. It was registered and began trading in June 1996.

In the beginning our primary focus was the supply of candy, cookies and novelty items to schools and small “Mom and Pop” outlets, eventually operating a fleet of eleven “route trucks” which covered both Trinidad and Tobago. As the market evolved and as we secured the agencies of several lines more suited to the supermarket trade, we too restructured in order to meet the needs of our customers.

The company was bought over by Lindsay Gillette in March 2021 and has continued to build on the amazing foundation set by the previous owners and managers, Michael and Deirdre. We have expanded existing product lines, added new brands to our portfolio, and continue to search for new products for the Trinidad and Tobago Market.
