Dooars Plantations & Inds. Ltd.

We are based at 3A, Ripon Street. It’s an old building, and we’ve been here for quite a while now. Most of our work at Dooars Plantations & Inds. Ltd. involves coordinating things with the estates. It’s a lot of phone calls and checking on how the crops are doing. Ripon Street is always noisy, so it’s quite a contrast to the quiet of the plantations we deal with. We have a small office where a few of us sit and handle the accounts and the logistics. There are always maps and charts pinned to the walls. Sometimes the coffee machine breaks down, which is a bit of a disaster for us, but we fix it eventually. We don't really do much in terms of fancy meetings. Most of our day is spent making sure the trucks are moving and the workers at the sites have what they need. It’s hard work and the weather often messes with our plans. When it rains too much or not enough, we have to change everything. We just take it day by day. The office gets a bit dusty with all the old files, but it feels like home to us. We aren't trying to be anything we aren't. We just focus on the harvest and making sure the industry side of things keeps ticking along. It's what we know. The days go by fast when there is a lot of cargo to move from the fields to the city.
