Riga Sugar Company Limited

You can find us at No. 14 NH Road, right on the second floor. It’s an easy enough place to get to since it’s on the main road. We’re in the sugar business, which means our lives revolve around the seasons and the harvests. The office here handles all the administrative side of things. It’s not a very big space, and it's mostly filled with stacks of papers and ledgers. We’ve been around for a long time, so we have our own way of doing things that might seem a bit old-fashioned to some people. We don't see the need for all the modern office gadgets that don't actually help get the work done. Mostly, we’re talking to farmers or checking on the status of the mill. Sugar is one of those things that people take for granted, but a lot of work goes into getting it from the field to the table. Our floor in the building is usually pretty busy during the crushing season. The rest of the year is a bit quieter, but there is always something to catch up on. We don't have a big mission statement on the wall or anything like that. We just focus on the sugar and making sure the business keeps running for another year. It’s practical work, and we’re glad to be doing it here on NH Road. Sometimes we have to stay late to sort out the payments, but we don't mind. It's just what needs to be done to keep things moving along smoothly.
