Greetings from Bali, Indonesia
I arrived here from India a few days ago, and this is a flying visit.. next stop China.
I was in Goa after spending a few days in Jaipur - The Pink City.. if you missed it you can catch up here.
From Jaipur we flew down to Goa.. I didn't know but there is a brand new airport in the north of the state. The airport feels like a holiday camp, very sunshine festive, totally designed for holiday makers.
After a short stay, I took a flight from Dabolim airport in the South of Goa to Mumbai (the most beautiful airport in the world), where I took a very pleasant Thai Airways night flight to Bangkok and a connection to Bali. It's quite hard work getting from Goa to Bali and I arrived exhausted...
North Goa Airport
Even though I arrived in Bali exhausted and feeling jet lag much more than 3.5 hours difference... so much to do I had to hit the ground running. I was telling you last time I was in Bali about some issues we are facing with a shortage of artisans, most of those problems are fixed but a couple remain and need me to make visits to suppliers and find solutions.. today made those visits. And I can report.. I think we fixed everything.
But then I went to our warehouse to see how it is going.. We have lots of new staff and Ringo and team are really stepping up the pace. I was so impressed the place is buzzing, absolutely buzzing. Artisan actually queuing with trucks to make deliveries.. Sunday we have a container to load (and another next week) and are racing to pack everything in time.
We made a video to introduce the new staff and show you how it works in the Frangipani Warehouse.
Our new marketing office on the beach (not far from the warehouse) is also Buzzing.. Raul (our IT wizard) arrived just before me from Kuala Lumpur and Peter (our marketing wizard) arrived from Slovakia a day later. We have to plan the next stage in development.. and believe me it's BUZZING down there.. Every morning this week we start the day early with a breakfast meeting on the beach near my hotel. Then make things happen.
But it's not just here.. it's Buzzing Everywhere now.. In the UK, in Spain, and in our warehouse in Slovakia.. we have NEVER EVER had so much new stock all roll up at the same time.. Lots of stuff from the AW Aromatics factory.. from Nepal (arrived in Spain) from India, from China... OMG!! so much from India and Nepal we can't cope.. Regular readers will remember our Epic Tour of Nepal and India earlier in the year.. well that is all coming home now..
Tomas is currently at our Spanish office and has been buzzing around being creative with the new stock.. Rodrigo in the UK also... You can catch some of it on our new TikTok channel..
In the UK we have made huge changes in our showroom to accommodate all the new stuff.. And YOU ARE INVITED!! If you can make it just roll up and Katka and Rodrigo and Team will be delighted to see you.. Plenty of new products such as fine Fragrance Perfume rolls and our trending Magic Candles for Menifestation
Check out all the new stuff below.. plus some absolutely BUZZING OFFERS.. It's Showroom Open Days and lots of reasons to come along..
Heads up!! It's only 101 days to Christmas.. which seems like a good time to get organized.. to get BUZZING..
Lots of lovely new things all created and made with love by AW artisans.. lots of things back in stock.. all to help your business.... BUZZ like crazy..
Next week I will be in China.. (stand by for interesting updates)
Take care.. and have a buzzing beautiful weekend.
