Parkinson says the company would not be here today without Wilson’s contributions at critical times during the company’s history.

In his farewell remarks at the AGM, Wilson said that CFL is a fount of hope, charity, togetherness for its listeners and it also saves lives.

Wilson says that all this comes from its heart and, from its love for Fiji.    

He also highlighted that over the last 15 years, CFL has helped causes with more than $1 million.  

Wilson also thanked former Director Hari Punja who was integral to the founding and development of this business.

He also recalled that Parkinson approached him as a 23-year-old touting what might have been an impossible dream and he never wavered and CFL became his life.
