Donovan Carter has cut and carved out a niche for himself in the settee-making industry for 27 years.
Carter’s Red Pond, St Catherine, factory produces beds and settees to walk-in retail customers and commercial interests like Singer Jamaica.
“I am glad to be involved in my own production of fine Jamaican settees and beds,” said Carter.
Carter’s workforce of 13 involves carpenters, carvers, upholsterers, varnishers, drivers, and administrators.
“It is the love for self-management and the contribution to the development of the community that give me the sheer determination to continue,” Carter told The Gleaner.
