Sun’s up, cameras rolling… we’re ready for some action! For
once we took a break from bingo balls and started shaking
coconuts! SRG celebrated their End Of Year party on a cosy
island tucked away in the south of Mauritius, Ile Aux Deux
Cocos. We were a big crowd to make it to the party, dressed
in our Island Chic outfits. From the sunset photo shoots to the
moves on the dancefloor, our people know how to party! The
pictures speak for themselves. Catch more of SRG under the
tropical sunset here!

People Exchange

We welcomed Liam Smith and David Grieve in late
January for five days of exchange. Unfortunately, David
missed the beautiful Mauritian sun but did get the most
out of SRG’s hospitality! Lauren Noble and Chris Norton
had it all during their three weeks stay. Not only did
they share a lot with many of the SRG people but they
also took part in local festivals. Lauren dressed for the
occasion, sporting a gorgeous saree!

elementary kids with their studies. To recharge her batteries, she
goes jogging and camping. In between, she is either watching
a Marvel movie or reading Milk and Honey. Bring her to new

the same common goal. My sister also works for the company.

like we can conquer anything!”

Re-innovation...

The offices on the ground floor and 5th floor in Ebene are currently being renovated!

The renovations have already started on the 5th floor. Many of you are asking what to expect when it’s done? The aim of
the renovation is to make the customer more visible in our centre and to create a more fun and dynamic environment.

The rebranding of our offices will further drive our performance culture and contribute to a greater sense of engagement
as well as a more lively atmosphere. This is only one of the first steps as we embark on the transformation phase with
Rank Group and there is still a lot more amazing things to come.
