I / Vol 4 - January 2005 2005 - A New Year

On behalf of all the crew of Sourcing Bali - we begin this issue of our Newsletter by paying tribute to all of our fellow countrymen affected by the terrible disaster in Sumatra.

The tragic events of the Asian Tsunami have left a strange and surreal mood among us.  We have been proud to support the incredible efforts of the Bali Hotels Association - Debe Campbell and her team at THE WORKS toiled endlessly for days after the breaking news - coordinating and communicating to the local hotel community - resulting in 5 containers of goods being sent to Sumatra to assist relief efforts.  The Sourcing Bali crew assisted in the collection, packing, stacking and loading of over 160cbm of generously donated goods from the hotels. 

We take this opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous work carried out by Debe, her crew and all of those involved.

We start 2005 with a fresh approach; a renewed focus on family, friends and loved ones.  To all of our friends all over the world we wish you a Safe and Happy New Year.

Fiji Sales Trip

 BULA to all of our friends in Fiji !

Three of the crew flew to Fiji in December to meet with old friends and make new ones.  A cocktail reception at Piranah's restaurant was attended by over 30 guests

A highlight of the visit was to see the results of our efforts over the past two years. Tokoriki Resort, Royal Davui Island Resort, Pure Fiji factory and training SPA, Myola Plantation. 

We also spent time on Castaway Island Resort - a recent addition to the Sourcing Bali portfolio.   Production is already underway for the refurbishment of this 66 room resort.

More projects are in the wings for 2005 and we look forward to sharing news of these later in the year!

BULA !

Sourcing Bali has invested in the latest technology of Moisture content metres By Wagner (USA).  The MMI 1100 is the top of the range product - used around the world by quality controllers to accurately measure the moisture content of wood.
