20 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 16 DECEMBER 2018 COMMERCIAL Pendergardens announces change in roles as project reaches key milestone PENDERGARDENS, the resi- dential and commercial pro- ject in the heart of St Julian's, is fast nearing completion. Last July the Company had an- nounced the appointment of a COO (Chief Operating Of- ficer) Emmanuel Briffa, whose main focus would be the run- ning of the future operation of the whole complex. Briffa brings with him 20 years of experience in Facili- ties & Project Management at his previous role at the Malta International Airport, and a further four years in local and overseas major refurbishment and new large-scale develop- ment projects in his corporate position as Group Director of Engineering and Technical Services with the Corinthia Hotels. Briffa will, as from the end of this year, be taking over the responsibilities of Peter Di- acono who steps down from his role as CEO as the project reaches practical completion. The Pendergardens Board of Directors thanks Diacono for his central role in steering the project right through to its fruition. The Board also expressed its confidence that Briffa will successfully oversee the final phase, that of complet- ing the switch from develop- ment to a fully operationally complex.

Award-winning HSBCnet internet banking for businesses revamped ESTABLISHED 2nd Decem- ber 2008, Fritz Energy and Engineering Ltd. are mark- ing their 10th anniversary as a leading specialised engi- neering company under the parentage of Famalco Group. Engineers representing Fritz Energy are highly specialised to assist with anything related to fuel Service Stations includ- ing refurbishments, supplying of dispensers, underground tanks as well as implementa- tion of other technologies. Through years of hard work and constant progress, Fritz has established itself as a lead- ing player in the industry. The recent upgrading of Malta's first Enemed franchised fore- court earlier this year, helped showcase the momentum achieved in the last 10 years of operation. As a result of this specialisa- tion, Fritz has also worked on the rebranding of the Pit Stop Service Station in Attard. Both stations were subjected to Enemed branding, as well as the latest design and technolo- gies according to EU guide- lines ensuring the utmost safe- ty on the forecourt. An important method of showcasing the reinvigorated Enemed branding on the ser- vice station, was the supply and installation of six-metre totem poles. These poles serve as land- marks for the Enemed brand as they contain both the fran- chise's logos and colours, whilst displaying the different prices and fuels available for purchase within the specific service station. Fritz's endeavour to install a total of 20 totem poles for En- emed across the Maltese island is well on its way, with the first few at Pit Stop Service Station in Attard, F. Busuttil Service Station in Bir id-Deheb, Au- tomarket Service Station in Zebbug, Sterling Service Sta- tion in Gzira and Falcon Ser- vice Station in Gzira, already operational. Works on the other service stations associated with the Enemed brand will continue as planned throughout the year. Famalco Group's Co-founder and Director Hermann Mallia, commented on Fritz's future works, stating that the com- panies will surely continue to thrive as a result of their dedi- cation and quality products. "In 2019, Fritz shall continue to provide the best quality products and the finest tech- nology when it comes to fore- court supply and safety. Our new totem poles have been designed with the customer in mind, as they clearly display fuel pricing and the ambient temperature". In future, Fritz Energy and Engineering are planning to work on more service stations across Malta and Gozo always striving to provide the best possible service on the island.
