"CIE LTD: BUILDING TOMORROW, REFLECTING ON A YEAR OF CHALLENGES AND TRIUMPS


As we get ready to close out the year, CIE LTD invites you to take a look back at some of our favorite moments from 2023.

CIE CELEBRATES 28 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

On April 4, 1995, Rayneau Gajadhar founded CIE on the basic principle that the construction process should be enjoyable for our customers and associates. Since, CIE has seen tremendous success, growing from a single office in Corinth, Gros Islet to a multi-million dollar enterprise. From successfully completing our first year of business to beginning construction on the largest project in CIE history and everything in-between, we are proud of every milestone we have achieved along the way. Check out the last year’s article for a look back at CIE’s nearly three decades of excellence!

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

At an Award Ceremony hosted by The St Lucia Red Cross Society in the Financial Administrative Centre, the CEO of Rayneau Group of Companies Ltd, Mr. Rayneau Gajadhar,  was recognized by the organization for the outstanding services provided to the institution.

Mr Gajadhar’s recognition was of particular significance due to the personal relationship which exists between the president, Mr. Hubert Pierre, and the institution’s staff which has spanned for over a decade.
