The Retreat Lodge & Conference Centre Bulawayo’s Business And Leisure Hub

Family-run businesses have always stood out for their attention to detail and personal touch, therefore allowing them to prosper. They usually rely on solid relationships between parents and siblings which can promote cohesion and camaraderie behind the scenes. In addition, families often exhibit acceptance of each other’s personality differences, which is advantageous in managing workplace conflicts and obstacles.

Riding on the same family work ethic is Retreat Lodge and Conference Centre, in Bulawayo. Here, expectant guests are hosted by a close-knit and hospitality-conscious Mpemba family comprising of father (Shepherd) and mother (Gladys), both executive directors, alongside their two daughters, Nyasha and Chido, as non-executive directors.
