Wilson, CFL’s co‑founder, said after more than 30 years as a director, and six as chair, it is time for him to step down to concentrate on other interests.
He said it has been his privilege to work with William Parkinson and board members to build CFL from a one‑station operation housed in a wooden building in Suva, into a profitable Fiji trans national corporation.
