University of Bahrain students tour Riffa Views

Riffa Views’ recently welcomed a delegation of 22 interior design students from the University of Bahrain (UOB). Headed by Dr. Saeed Abdulrahim, Professor of Architecture at UOB, the group visited the development with the aim of experiencing the high quality interior designs and decorations of the luxurious project.

Students were briefed on the latest progress of the development and were given an overview of the three Signature Estates, the Oasis, the Lagoons and the Park. The group then toured the Signature Show Villa where the Riffa Views Sales & Marketing team provided details of the different materials and textures used in the decorations, and the selection of the colours and designs as influenced by the exterior themes of each Estate.

Commenting on the visit, Hugh O’Shea Director of Sales & Marketing at Riffa Views said: “We are always pleased to receive college students at our development. Through this visit we hope the UOB students will gain a broader understanding of their field, mainly because each Estate in the project has its own distinguishable architecture and interior design.”

Dr. Saeed expressed his deepest gratitude for the Riffa Views’ team: “Riffa Views is an impressive landmark that the Kingdom should be exceptionally proud of. We are looking forward to making another visit to the most admired development in Bahrain in the near future.”

For the second successive year, Mr. Richard Browning, CEO of Riffa Views Signature Estates, has been invited to speak at the Golf Business Forum 2008 in Dublin, Ireland this week. The three-day event, May 12-14, is hosted by leading professional services provider KPMG’s Golf Advisory Services Practice, and offers a unique platform for experts from the world’s golf and related industries to share best practices and international industry insight. This year, Mr. Browning has been asked to present a paper on the subject:

“How successful marketing and sales can add to the value of your development”

Mr. Browning commented: “A large proportion of our marketing campaign has been directed to supporting community organizations, local clubs and associations in Bahrain, and therefore I wish to highlight the success story of Riffa Views, as part of the success story of Bahrain.”

“Riffa Views is committed to promoting Bahrain as a Middle East business and leisure hub. Some of our initiatives include organizing the first truly international tennis tournament to come to Bahrain for two consecutive years in the Under 14 Asian Series; ongoing support for youth club teams in Soccer, Rugby, and Volleyball; the return of the Inter-Gulf Netball Championships to Bahrain for 2 consecutive years; the expansion of the Bahrain International Garden Show, over a 3 year period, and many more.”
