NP Dominica opened the newly rebranded Lindo Park Service Station on March 30th 2015. The site boasts of new dispensers on the forecourt, as well as all new piping and electricals, with an anticipated revenue stream upwards of EC$2 million.

The dealer at the Lindo Park site had a previous long-standing supply agreement with one of NP’s major competitors on the island, West Indian Oil Company Limited, however, after persistent pursuing, NP was able to negotiate a new supply agreement with the dealer.

LAUNCh Of ThE NATiONAL CNG iNiTiATivE

Trinidad & Tobago National Petroleum Marketing Company Limited (NP) is proudly collaborating with NGC CNG Company Limited (NGC CNG) to assist in the expansion of the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a major, alternative transportation fuel in the country. On Wednesday 15th April, NP participated in the Launch of the National CNG Initiative at the Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) Compound in Port of Spain. The launch formally introduced 35 new CNG buses to the public transport system, as well as a brand new CNG fuelling station on the PTSC compound, dedicated to serving the PTSC bus fleet.

Senator the Honourable Kevin Ramnarine, Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs (2nd left) shakes hands with The Honourable Stephen Cadiz, Minister of Transport, during the unveiling of the plaque for the CNG Fuelling Station at the PTSC Compound. Looking on (from left) are Neil Gosine, Chairman, NP, and Dr. Vincent Lasse, Chairman, PTSC.

NP Chairman Neil Gosine stated that NP is pleased to be a part of the initiative. “Today we are part of a historic partnership that will link NP with NGC CNG and the PTSC. What takes this relationship beyond unique and into the realm of the extraordinary is that it will shortly be extended to maxi-taxis. What makes it more than extraordinary is that it is not about petrol or gas, but is based on the greater availability of CNG and its increasing use as the fuel of choice for our nation’s commercial transportation industry and private users alike,” Gosine said.

OUR BRAND

As we continue on our journey to excellence, we have to ensure that our brand takes prominence in the T&T landscape. We must remind our customers, at every point, that NP is here “for all life’s journeys”. In this regard, we are doing work that highlights our brand such as this new signage at Piarco. There’s no mistaking NP’s presence in the area now.

NP ‘ADOPTS’ CALEDONiA AiA PLAyERNP is proud to support Jameel Neptune as part of Caledonia AIA’s “Adopt the Player” programme. Last September, NP agreed to sponsor $36,000 to be used towards Neptune’s athletic and personal development until 2016.

The “Adopt the Player” programme features the adoption of players who are considered “at risk” and helps enable them to function as apprentice footballers of the TT Pro League football club.

For the last 35 years, Caledonia AIA has provided opportunities for youth to be

involved in disciplined recreation. Some of these persons are considered “at risk” because of their economic and environmental circumstances. With the introduction of the TT Pro League, these young persons can now earn a living using football as an alternative to criminal activity.

Our Company continues to focus on the positive development of our nation’s youth and commits to supporting similar ventures for the betterment of the nation.

In October 2014, NP gave $75,000 towards the Rose Foundation’s refurbishment project for the Each One Teach One Special School in Beetham Gardens. The sponsorship included a galvanized shed to cover the outdoor play area, flooring for the play area, toys, bracket shelving for storage, refurbishment of 65 combined desks/chairs, and installation of a school sign.

The school, run by its founder and teacher Wayne Jordan, offers special education training, primary school placement and placement in the adolescent development programme at Servol. Students are between the ages of three months to 16 years, and come from various, troubled and challenging backgrounds.

NP is proud to partner with the Rose Foundation on this refurbishment project as part of our ongoing commitment to youth development.

CULTURE

On Thursday 15th March 2015, Estate Constable Keith Bruce was on duty at NATPET compound when he discovered a truck leaving the compound with an extra 20lb cylinder. This tank was suspected to be stolen. He was commended by John Martinez, Chief of Security, for his keen powers of observation and dedication to duty, and granted an award of a $500.00 voucher. His detection could prevent such an event from recurring in the future. We encourage all employees to stay vigilant to help protect our business.

fiNANCE

At NP, we encourage our employees to find a balance between work and play to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. It’s one of the reasons we continue to host recreational activities for staff. Earlier this year during HSE Week in March, we held a cricket tournament which saw six teams battling for bragging rights on the field: HSE Red Force, LOBP, TCU Raiders, NATPET, Finance and Marketing. The matches saw some great skills and sportsmanship as players put forth their best efforts for victory. We congratulate everyone who participated, including the supporters, and look forward to the next round of friendly cricket competition.
