The Brydens Way

A.S. Bryden & Sons (Trinidad) Ltd. has, through perseverance and an undying passion for excellence, established itself as Trinidad’s distributor of choice for internationally coveted brands.  The Bryden Group encompasses activities in a broad spectrum of industries in Trinidad, but A.S. Bryden itself is wholly focused on the distribution of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and is grouped into three sales teams specializing in Food & Grocery, Hardware & Housewares and Spirits & Wines ably supported by a state-of-the-art warehousing and Distribution Centre (see About Us).

Originally founded in Barbados in1898 by Arthur Sidney Bryden, the Trinidad office commenced operations in 1923 under Arthur’s son William Francis Bryden and can boast of being the most successful business of its kind and generation in the country.  There are many strategic decisions, key persons and events in the history of the Company that have made us the Nation’s leading Distributor.  However, our longevity and sustained growth from inception over 85 years ago to present can only be attributed to the fundamental philosophical elements that make us Brydens.

Core values:

• Integrity – Integrity is at the core of everything we do at Brydens.  This is the single most important reason for our unparalleled success.
• Service – A strong product will likely allow even the weakest supplier to close a single deal, but combine a good product with best-in-class service and your customers will never look elsewhere.
• Value – We must be capable of delivering value – to our customers, to our principals and to our shareholders – or we should simply close our doors.
• Quality – Quality transcends all we do, from our products to our ceaseless pursuit of perfection.
• People – Undeniably, any organization’s single most valuable asset is its people.  Through trying times human resilience is priceless to any enterprise.  Staff development and retention are therefore high on the list of priorities of our Executive.
• Relationships – Whether with customers, vendors or staff, we know that over time, business success is forged in relationships… PARTNERSHIP.

Over the years we have proven time and time again,

goal setting + careful planning + timely execution = success

Because success breeds success and success is a habit at Brydens, we remain your number one choice as a distributor, a supplier or an employer.
