In his address, he acknowledged the contribution of past Board members who have been instrumental in building up the platform for this success. In particular, he acknowledged the contribution of the Chairman, Mr Lyle Cupit in the role that he has played to champion the cause for indigenous Fijian participation in the commercial sector of Fiji’s economy through Fijian Holdings.

The service was attended by the Board of Fijian Holdings Limited, the Great Council of Chiefs’ representatives and members of Cabinet. The service was widely attended by the shareholders, employees and families from the FHL Group and the public.
