Goodricke Group Of Companies

We are based at 17/G Tanti Bagan Lane in Kolkata, but a huge part of our daily life is tied to the Aibheel Teagarden in Jalpaiguri. It is a bit of a split existence between the city office and the gardens up in Matelli. Down here in the city, the office is often full of logs, paperwork, and people trying to coordinate shipments. Tanti Bagan Lane is a narrow spot, so getting things delivered or picked up can be a real headache sometimes. We deal with a lot of updates from the North, so there is always talk about the weather in the tea districts or how the current harvest is looking. The atmosphere in our Kolkata office is usually pretty quiet compared to the busy gardens. We have old wooden desks and shelves stacked with folders that have been there for years. Many of us have been working together for a long time, so we are all very used to each other’s habits. It is a lot of routine work like checking lists, sending out letters, and making sure the communication with the Jalpaiguri side stays open. Sometimes the distance between the city and the garden makes things move a bit slow, but that is just how the tea business goes. We are an old-school group keeping the gears turning from our little corner of the city.
