By J. Brock (FINN)
The Falkland Islands Development Board announced on Friday that Mark Brunet has been appointed the new General Manager of the Falkland Islands Development Corporation.
FIG added that Mark’s experience is entirely relevant to the role of General Manager of FIDC. Currently he is the Director of a flagship business enterprise support service covering West Sussex, eastern Surrey and parts of East Sussex and Kent which is operated by the Sussex Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise under a contract with the South East England Development Agency. He has also recently been involved in projects with a range of international partners and has extensive experience of working with small business to maximise growth and profitability.
Subject to the completion of the usual pre-contract formalities, Mark and his wife, Ursula, expect to arrive in The Falklands towards the end of January 2007. In the meantime, the team at FIDC will continue to provide the full range of services and work on diverse development projects under the strategic guidance of the Board with the Chair (Cllr. Andrea Clausen) and Vice Chair (Chris Simpkins) performing a more hands on role until Mark arrives to take up the challenge.
Cllr.Dr. Andrea Clausen welcomed Mark’s appointment. “I’m very pleased that we have been able to secure Mark’s services and am confident that his skills and experience will add another dimension to the first class team that we now have in place at FIDC. I look forward to welcoming him here and to working with him to further improve the success of our economy” she said.
