Riverside Shopping Centre reopens in time for the festive season

The fully renovated Riverside Shopping Centre now provides an ideal convenience retail offering to the people of Rivière du Rempart and the surroundings. The timing was just perfect with the festive season approaching.

A completely renewed shopping experience is available since the 15th of December 2019 with an exciting line-up of new brands, including Jetha Tulsidas, Liquid, Phydra, and PrideMark. The icing on the cake will come with the expansion and revamping of the Winner’s supermarket will shall be completed in May 2020.

A Bloomage property, the retail complex has undergone extensive renovation to the tune of Rs 120m, with Manser Saxon Contracting Ltd as main contractor. Riverside Shopping Centre’s floor area has been increased and new facilities added include a food court that brings greater choice to diners. The tenant mix and the overall layout have also been reviewed for enhanced quality, customer experience and attractiveness.

The shopping centre has great retail potential with an immediate catchment population of over 100,000 from Rivière du Rempart and the surrounding villages, from Flacq to Goodlands through Roches Noires and Poste Lafayette.

Putting the Bloomage values into action

Putting the Bloomage values into action

Bloomage recently held a workshop as an effort to better embed the core values of IBL Together into the fabric of the company. Twenty-five of our team members attended this one-day programme held at Maison Eureka and facilitated by the CEO, Robin Hardin.

The Bloomage team had the opportunity to reflect on and discuss the meaning of People First, Responsibility, Integrity, Creativity, Excellence and Passion. It was important to get everyone’s view and interpretation to come up with one common definition for each of them. The workshop was also intended to remind all team members that they should live these values at all times and always be guided by them in their decision-making.

“The workshop has been really useful in aligning everyone with the meaning of these values for the company and the way to interpret and use them as the underlying principles of everything we do at work. Besides, it was also a fun day out of the office with good food!” says Jason Young, Project Officer.
