This gesture deserves of special mentioning because it points to a company that considers the wellbeing of its employees of paramoment importance although such a decision implies higher costs. As an Association we strongly congratulate Al Thuraya Holdings whilst at the same time we whole heartly wish them attainment at the highest level of their business goals and objectives. Below a training session is shown. andri Thu, 29 Jun 2017 09:06:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:1042 https://www.stjohn.org.cy/INFO/Latestnews-Announcements/tabid/133/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1034/Our-Chairmans-Death.aspx#Comments 0 https://www.stjohn.org.cy/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=133&ModuleID=1559&ArticleID=1034 https://www.stjohn.org.cy:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=1034&PortalID=0&TabID=133 Our Chairman's Death https://www.stjohn.org.cy/INFO/Latestnews-Announcements/tabid/133/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1034/Our-Chairmans-Death.aspx It is with great sadness to announced that our chairman, Dr. Nicos Spanos passed away last week, after a long and courageous fight with cancer.
