During this time the virgin coconut oil had a limited market for cosmetic production in Italy and was not available in the UK. Having found a supplier, Garry returned to the UK and became the only UK importer of Sri Lanka virgin coconut oil, under the brand name Coconoil.
Garry continues to fundraise for Sri Lanka, raising money to help replace the school for the villages of Mawella and Hanwella, both of which were destroyed in the Tsunami.

The Story Behind Coconoil
Coconoil was founded by Garry Stiven following his visit to Sri Lanka in the immediate aftermath of the 2004 tsunami to help with emergency relief work. Garry, a former field director for Save The Children, was shocked by the vast devastation and quickly realised that it would take many years for the worst hit areas to recover.
After gathering his thoughts and reading a well placed magazine article on the health benefits of coconut oil, Garry, with his past experience, found a way to help the Sri Lanka people for the long term and found an export market for the country to bring in new revenue and boost the economy.
