It currently houses Whitchurch IGA Supercenter on the Ground Floor. The First Floor houses the Travel Agency and the Main Office (Shipping & Tours, Insurance, Accounts, Sales).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

H.H.V. Whitchurch & Company Limited was founded in Roseau, Dominica in 1910 by Herbert Harry Vivian Whitchurch.\u00a0 Today, it is a private limited liability company, owned by the Aird family.<\/p>\n

Harry Herbert Vivian Whitchurch was an estate manager in Dominica.\u00a0 Born into a shop-keeping family in Southampton, England on November 15th 1869, Whitchurch came out to Dominica to manage various estates, including Woodford Hill, where he is said to have laid out Dominica\u2019s first, and so far only, nine-hole golf course.<\/p>\n

In 1910 Whitchurch went into business in Roseau, gradually building up a general and commission merchant enterprise, insurance, automobile and shipping agency, and dealership in dry goods, groceries and fuel.\u00a0 Residents of Roseau always remember that Whitchurch as having the first \u201csupermarket\u201d in Dominica.\u00a0 Appropriately, 100 years later, Whitchurch \u201cIGA\u201d Supercentre is a focal point of Dominica\u2019s society.\u00a0\u00a0 So much so that one year, a young child on vacation for the first time in the United States of America with his family when pulling up to an \u201cIGA\u201d store in the U.S.A. promptly turned to his mother stating: \u201cMummy, see Whitchurch!\u201d<\/p>\n

Whitchurch continued expanding beyond these parameters and was made the agent for Lloyds of London (Insurance) in 1926.<\/p>\n

Herbert Whitchurch and his family lived at Ross Cottage at Morne Bruce, Roseau.\u00a0 One of his two daughters, Gwendolyn, married James Otto Aird, originally from Guyana (formerly British Guiana), who arrived to work in Dominica after serving in World War I.\u00a0 Aird became the managing director of the Company on the event of Whitchurch\u2019s death in 1946.\u00a0 From that date forward, Whitchurch\u2019s descendants have managed the Company.<\/p>\n

Building purchased from L. Rose & Co. Currently houses MFS, Western Union and DHL Services, Junction Old Street and Kennedy Avenue (Formerly New Street) \u00a9 1960\u2019s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The company opened its doors as a grocery store operating out of an area of what was then \u201cHotel de Paz\u201d.\u00a0 As operations grew and the company\u2019s portfolio expanded, they operated from buildings on Old Street until total destruction by fire in 1961.\u00a0 As a result, the company purchased the old L. Rose & Co. Building on New Street (now Kennedy Avenue).\u00a0 Whitchurch & Company sub sequentially sold this in 1984 and then repurchased and restored it in 2002.\u00a0 Currently the agencies for Western Union, DHL and the company Millennium Freight Services (MFS \u2013 Agents for CMACGM, Econocaribe and Aeropost Network) operate from these premises.<\/p>\n

After the \u201861 fire, the Old Street property was rebuilt and expanded, re-opening as a shopping centre in 1975, while new offices were completed in 1984.\u00a0 Along with J.A.S. Garraway, (1828), A.A. Baron & Co., (1896), and L.A. Dupigny & Co. Ltd., (1918), H.H.V. Whitchurch & Co. Ltd. is among the longest serving merchant companies still operating in Dominica.<\/p>\n

Over the last century, Whitchurch has provided Dominica with goods and services, which have assisted in the development of the nation.\u00a0 As we celebrate a century of operation, we proudly boast a multifaceted portfolio ranging from duty free shopping, shipping,\u00a0 insurance, Whitchurch Travel Agency, American Express Services, Whitchurch IGA Supercentre, Food Distribution and Wholesale, tours, Whitchurch Portsmouth, agents for cruise ships, Western Union Money Transfer, DHL, SOL EC Ltd., alongside sister companies Ground Handlers Limited and Millennium Freight Services.\u00a0 Whitchurch celebrates 100 years of providing not only goods and services to the people and visitors alike of Dominica, but also presently employs over 235 Dominicans.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Whitchurch has consulted its simple, straightforward mission statement in maintaining its course direction, giving back to the community at large through various sponsorships, donations and involvement in educational, socio-economic and historical programs across the island.<\/p>\n
