Amanda
joins Prouds
as manager
visuals
New Zealand born Amanda Swaby has joined Fiji’s leading luxury re-
tailer – Prouds as manager visual merchandise which is a newly
created position for the Motibhai Group company.
Armed with a bachelor’s degree in visual art and design, majoring
in interior design from Unitec in Auckland, Ms Swaby who is of
German-Jamaican descent is really happy about joining Prouds in
this new position and thanked the company for giving her the op-
portunity to put forward her talents.
“I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and working together to
make positive changes for the company,” Ms Swaby told INBOX –
the official newsletter of Motibhai Group.
“My immediate challenges would be learning everyone’s names and
pronouncing them correctly including names of places while also
remembering what each store looks like and trying to avoid pot
holes while driving to each store,” she added.
She says the new job also presents her with opportunities to making
new great friends in a beautiful country and expanding her own
talents and skills while sharing knowledge to make a good impact.
Prior to joining Prouds, Ms Swaby has worked for DFS Auckland Air-
port and Galleria as a visual merchandiser and Aotea Gifts as visual
merchandise manager and category coordinator.
Living previously in Orlando, Florida for a couple of years while
working for a contemporary homeware company, Fiji is the second
foreign country for her to expand her boundaries in the field of work
she loves and is qualified to do.
“I would like to thank the Motibhai Group for welcoming me and giv-
ing me the opportunity to grow within the company and become a
part of the Motibhai family. A big thanks also to everyone who has
helped me adapt and made my transition from New Zealand to Fiji
easier.”
Amanda Swaby who is the new visual
merchandise manager for Prouds looks
forward to her new role.
