Celebrating 25 Years of Service To You 1989 - 2014 Celebrating 25 Years of Service To You 1989 - 2014 From childhood, Mr. Peter Sammy always had the dream of working for himself. Even with the limited vision of a ten (10) year old, thoughts of owning a Fix-it-Shop or the grander dream of a TV Repair Shop began to grow. After completing his National Technicians Diploma in Electrical/ Electronic Engineering, a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and a M.Sc. in Power Systems Engineering, Mr. Sammy again began to feel the urge to start his own company. His enthusiasm further developed in 1987 at the height of the recession which followed the collapse of the oil based economy in Trinidad and Tobago with workers being retrenched, some opting for cuts in wages and some were returning the keys to their mortgaged homes to their bankers. This was possibly the worst time to begin a business but seeing the efects of retrenchment and what voluntary severance had on the workforce which remained within organizations, the decision was made in 1986 to begin the process which led to registration of his business in the name- Design Engineering Services Limited, which was then operated by himself and his sister-in-law.
