III / Volume 10, July, 2011 Sourcing Bali News

Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to once again bring you the latest news from Sourcing Bali and our supplier partners.

In this, our 10th year, we proudly share news of our most recent finds, our recent projects, and updates on what's happening in Bali.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we've given ourselves a face lift - on our website (!) - and we hope you like the new, easier format, and easier navigation to our sister sites www.sb-he.com, www.bespoke-bali.com and www.rimcargo.com - we welcome your feedback.

Also, we share news of our recent staff party - celebrating 10 years !! The crew had loads of fun and there was no small amount of craziness. :-)

It goes without saying that we simply wouldnt be here without you and we THANKYOU for your wonderful support. We hope that you will continue to support us and we look forward to being of service.

Warmest regards,
Desmond & Crew

New products - website loadings

With the sheer volume and variety of products that we source, it's impossible to upload all of these to our site, however we do load some. Most of our work is customised and thus rarely makes it to the site - however our projects can be viewed on our Bespoke website www.bespoke-bali.com

Below are some examples of newly added products to the Sourcing Bali site - many of these are for projects that we are currently working on in Bahama's, Australia, Fiji, and USA. You can easily view the latest NEW products from our website http://www.sourcing-bali.com/new-product

Bespoke - Interior Design Services

Our newest division continues to grow from Strength to Strength - recently we've been awarded a number of overseas projects including boutique hotels, luxury apartments, Fijian Villas, as well as a number of private and commercial projects in Bali.

For details on our recent projects you can visit our site www.bespoke-bali.com or email Chung@bespoke-bali.com

Currency Fluctuations

The Indonesian Rupiah continues to strengthen and the US$ declines.. the current rate of exchange for US$ transactions can vary 10-60 rupiah in a day, sometimes more. The AUD$ however is very strong, and it makes great sense for our Aussie friends to buy from Indonesia at the moment. :-)

The current rate of exchange as of (date) is Rp 8.400 to the US$, Rp 8.800 to AUD$, Rp 12.000 to the Euro.

For details on currency exchange rates - please email sheny@sourcing-bali.com

10th Anniversary STAFF PARTY

We promised you an update on our 10th anniversary celebrations and here they are.

As usual every May, our crew gets together to celebrate the anniversary of our company and bring families together to share in the festivities. This year was extra special - and we had over 230 in attendance. (partners and kids - and a Doctor and Nurse, just in case)

We hired a wonderfully private venue in the hills of Bedugal, and we had exclusive use of the 4 hectare facility. We provided magicians and games for the kids, and we challenged our crew (in teams of 9) to present a 'So you think you've got Talent' format of competition.

The results were OUTSTANDING and the creativity beyond imagination. Prizes were awarded to everyone, with the better prizes awarded to the most creative. It was a fun day, with lots of smiles.. I am so incredibly proud of the entire crew... (THANK YOU GUYS... X)
