“The Board of Directors of Sun Resorts Limited, and myself, wish to express our gratitude to Fabio Piccirillo for his contribution to the development of our group and its hotels during the past eleven years, first as Regional Director of One & Only and then in the capacity of CEO of the company. Fabio has helped the Board of Directors to find a successor and he will gladly extend his support during a few months before the new CEO takes over.
