F

ijis retail pioneers

Prouds continues to inspire customers with
world-class products.
And the latest addition to its
line of home appliances is none
other than Bosch a name that
stands for reliability, sustainability and well-engineered technologies.
Prouds chairman Kirit Patel
says the company is proud to be
partnering with Bosch New Zealand to give Fijian customers a totally new level of experience and
comfort.
Bosch home appliances set
worldwide standards not only
with their high-quality materials and pioneering precision, but
also by means of their unmistakably clear design language which
transfers high quality standards
even into the smallest details, allowing the consumer to experience them with all the senses,
Mr Patel said.
The design of Bosch home
appliances always supports the
function of each appliance, and
focuses primarily on the user,
Mr Patel added.
He said Prouds will strive for
the best to ensure Bosch reaches
as many Fijian homes as possible.
What distinguishes Bosch
home appliances from other
brands is quality, durability, performance, German heritage since
1886 and continuous innovation
in technology and research, Mr
Patel added.
It is not coincidental that the
brands advertising claim Invented for life drives Bosch Home
Appliances - it is the heartfelt
conviction that pervades Boschs
history, culture, business strategy
and products.
Since the companys inception, Bosch has been developing

innovations that serve people.

For home appliances, it
means giving people peace of
mind for their daily life at home

sustainable, resource saving

in a sustain
manner for generations to come.
Hence to increase awareness
of energy and water efficiency re-

lated to home appliances will become integral part while addressing the consumer needs in Fiji,
Mr Patel said.

130-years of innovation and success

W

HEN Robert Bosch founded his company

130-years-ago, who would have thought
that Bosch as a brand would one day be a global
leader and trendsetter in all its fields of diversified
business.
Founding his company in the year 1886 in Stuttgart which is today the eighth largest city in Germany, Robert Bosch was a humble man with exceptional entrepreneurial skills.
A visionary leader who led his team of dedicated staff by setting good examples, Robert always
valued his staff and customers alike, often going to
great lengths to ensure a loyal and dedicated team of
staff and satisfied customers.
The company initially specialized in precision
mechanics and electrical engineering with more focus on automotive parts from 1901 onwards.
It was not until 1933, nine-years before Roberts

death that Bosch diversified into the home appliance

and white goods market manufacturing their first refrigerator that year.
As history records, there has been no looking
back for Bosch in this segment of the market, Motibhai Group marketing executive Sujan Patel says.
Today Bosch is the largest home appliance
manufacturer in Europe, and the 2nd largest worldwide, Mr Patel adds.
He said Boschs product portfolio spans the entire spectrum of modern household appliances that
includes everything from stoves, ovens, extractor
hoods, dishwashers, washers, dryers, refrigerators,
and freezers to small appliances like vacuum cleaners.
This makes Bosch the only full-range provider
of home appliances globally and we are proud to
bring it in Fiji for our customers.

Three centuries of
tea with Twinings
If it was not for Twinings, tea would have continued to be a luxury
item accessible to only the rich and famous.
This iconic British brand which is renowned the world over was
established in 1706 by Thomas Twining and has played the most significant role in making tea a readily available drink for everyone.
During the early days of Twinings as a brand, high taxes and propaganda against tea meant the masses were deprived of what would turn
out to be the most popular beverage in the world.
It was not until 1784 when Richard Twining, a descendant of Thomas was able to convince the then British Prime Minister William Pitt on
the benefits of reducing taxes this led to a massive surge in consumption and also increased earnings for the government.
This very important event marked the beginning of tea-drinking as
part of everyday life and in that fact the tea revolution as many call it.
Now more than 300-years later and ten generations down the lane,
Twinings continues to inspire tea lovers across the globe with Fiji as
little a market we are being no exception.
Even after three centuries of operations, the passion and love for
tea remains the same at Twinings. In fact you will still find a Twining
at work on your visit to the Twinings headquarters. A tenth generation
Twining, Stephen is an important figure in making sure that everything
is up to standard, spreading the Twinings message across the globe and
helping make sure Thomass promise is never broken.
We wouldnt have your beloved tea without this family, they are
truly remarkable and have taught the world what there is to know
about good quality tea, Motibhai Group marketing manager Abraham
Gomes said.
The good news is that today you can find your favourite blend of
Twinings in many different flavours unlike when it all began in 1706,
Mr Gomes added.
He said all leading supermarkets are carrying the good range of
Twinings teas with a taste suited for every tea lover.
The Green Tea & Lemon has taken the market by storm because of
its vibrant and zesty taste and health benefits, Mr Gomes said.
A mild green tea and a juicy lemon flavour have been blended for
a light refreshing tea to add a little zing to your day.
Harmoniously balanced, Green Tea & Lemon are perfect for each
other. The flavour of lemon brings out the fragrant green tea in this
delicious pairing.
Enjoy this zesty and vibrant tea and let it fill your moment with a
little burst of sunshine.

Lau Trade Show a great success as products and services get closer to customers...

By SITERI SAUVAKACOLO
The Fiji Times
SALES at the recent Lau
Trade Show have proven to be a
hit among six islands in the Lau
Group where wholesale products
were sold right on their doorstep.
Products
from
Motibhai
Group, Niranjans, Fiji Gas Ltd
and Ba Book Centre were on
great demand from villagers of
Matuku, Totoya, Cicia, Vanuabalavu, Lakeba and Moala.
Show
organiser,
Unique
Events director Atelaite Cama
said the trade show was a great
success for both participants and
islanders.
"The maritime group as a
whole are among the most disadvantaged people in Fiji," Ms
Cama said.
"In order to access essential
goods and services they pay up
to hundreds of dollars to get to an
urban centre.
"The main objective of the island trade show is to take these
essentials to their doorstep."
Products such as the Fiji Gas
cylinders, OMO, Sprint and Tang
drinks, Ovaltine, Betty Crocker
cake mix, outboard engine and
Lifebuoy bathing soap were sold

at a very low price to these villagers.

Ms Cama also believed more
organisations, both government
and corporate should join in
their other upcoming island trade
shows.
"There are some areas that are
critical to islanders like health,
telecommunications and higher
education opportunities for our

secondary school students.

"These were the areas of which
islanders highlighted that they
hoped would have participated in
our Lau Trade show 2016.
"The recent Lau Trade show
2016 was the first one that had
a high powered government delegation in the presence of Employment Minister Semi Koroilavesau and his deputy secretary

Vilimone Baledrokadroka. It was

a good opportunity for islanders
and also for us as an organising
team doing maritime islands focused events."
Ms Cama said in order to
cover the remaining Lau islands,
Unique Events was partnering
with Tokalau Shipping to produce
a workable corporate services
package in the future.

Prouds DFS retails BBC - Fijis leading sweets brand

Fijis leading supplier of sweets and savoury has received overwhelming response from customers on their new initiative which gives
travellers a chance to take back Fiji made goodies with them.
Bhikhabhai & Company Ltd director Viraaj Lad said they started a
partnership with Prouds to be the dealer of their pre-packed (aluminium
packed) snacks for the departure lounge at the Nadi International Airport.
Mr Lad said they had been overwhelmed by the response and it was
surprising to note the travellers were purchasing new items such as
veitalia mix, murku and lakri mithai in addition to existing favourites
such as premium chevda and premium mixed bhuja.
"We believe one key reason for our success is our commitment
and loyalty to our customers in terms of what they can expect from a
Bhikhabhai product which they have trusted for over 80 years, Mr Lad
told The Fiji Times.
Prouds DFS manager Ashwin Chand says the renowned snacks from
Bhikabhai & Company Ltd that now comes in new packaging has received overwhelming response from the travelling public.
People are very well aware of the BBC brand and connect very well
with its taste and value for money, Mr Chand said.
He said the new initiative between BBC and Prouds has made it
easier for customers to purchase their favourite snacks to take overseas.
So the good news is that there is no more running around to Ba or
the BBC Nadi outlet for customers who are flying out of the country,
BBC products are available right here at Prouds Duty Free Stores, Mr
Chand added.

With a strong workforce of 1250, we believe in the wellbeing

and welfare of our PEOPLE...
