New Buildings For Suva Biscuit Company

IN December, 17 months after the job was started, the new buildings erected in Rodwell Road, Suva, for the Pacific Biscuit Company and its associate, Union Soaps Pty., Ltd., were completed and occupied—a further step for ward by the well-known Fiji organisation directed and managed these many years by Mr. Malcolm M. Brodie.

The new two-storey building for the Biscuit Company has been built right alongside the company’s old building, which

for long has housed the factory and offices. The company’s offices now will go onto the first floor of the new building in front, while at the back will be the tinsmith’s shop and rooms providing amenities for the staff. A flour and bulk store will occupy the ground floor.

Union Soaps’ building, single storey, built next to the Biscuit company’s new building, has offices in front and bulk store behind.

The whole job has been done in rein forced concrete, in a workmanlike man ner, by Industrial Builders, Ltd., of Suva — which is an offshoot of Millers, Ltd., and managed by Mr. George Knapman. The job was to take a year; but, in Suva, they meet all the frustrations and shortages common to building enterprises to-day throughout the British Empire.
