Early Days of the Founder

“A journey of passion, dedication and devotion”

In a rural district of Eastern Trinidad on April 17, 1952, a child entered the world, adding to a bustling family of six siblings. His arrival coincided with his parents’ acquisition of a new home, providing ample space for play and fostering a close-knit familial environment. Education was easily accessible as the school was a mere walk away where he completed his elementary education and obtained his School Leaving Certificate.

He then furthered his studies at St. Andrews College and graduated with distinction in Business Administration and Accounting. His adeptness in language and mathematics secured him a teaching position at the college, a role that scarcely challenged his considerable talents. Meanwhile, his elder brother worked on an estate that employed over two hundred workers. Hearing of a vacant accountant position through his brother, he promptly applied and was immediately hired. In this role, he was able to impact the lives of many as he offered to tutor individuals during his spare time. After hours and on weekends, he utilized his brother’s car for hire, aiming to alleviate his financial burdens while also assisting his growing family, now supported primarily by his father, a taxi driver.

One day, a potential buyer approached him with an enticing offer for the taxi, recognizing the opportunity, his brother and himself agreed to the sale, reaping a tidy profit. This cycle repeated, each transaction yielding significant returns that were shared between them. With his newfound capital, he soon procured his own vehicle, marking a step towards greater financial independence.

During his tenure as the Estate Accountant and Paymaster, his managerial prowess became evident as employees sought his guidance to address their concerns, often acting as a liaison between them and the higher-ups. His duties extended beyond the confines of the estate, requiring regular travels to various locations for payroll disbursements due to the company’s widespread agricultural operations. These journeys provided him with exposure to luxury vehicles and opportunities to interact closely with the company’s leadership, fostering a burgeoning passion for driving.

One fateful day, perusing a newspaper, he stumbled upon a job listing for a chauffeur to drive a Mercedes Benz. Without hesitation, he applied and swiftly secured the position, now serving as the chauffeur to a discerning businessman.

During his free hours, he eagerly pitched in at the office, readily tackling errands and any necessary tasks. His dedication did not go unnoticed, with both his supervisor and boss closely observing his contributions. Within a mere three months, his proficiency earned him a role assisting in the Accounts Department, followed shortly by a promotion to Company Supervisor. His proactive initiatives to bolster the business led to further recognition, culminating in his appointment as the company’s manager.

During his time here, he fostered relationships with numerous business associates who would later become instrumental in his entrepreneurial journey. Through their support, providing goods on consignment, a strong collaborative bond flourished. As the operations rapidly expanded in just a few months, it was necessary for the formal registration of a company to accommodate the growing clientele as it became clear that full-time dedication was imperative.

Engaged in a diverse array of trade, spanning from consumer goods to construction materials, the business demanded a name reflective of its multifaceted activities. Consequently, the first company was created, Multi Marketing Agency Limited , by its founder, Jagnanan Sookoo which was just the start.
