Caruana joined Farsons Group as a Trainee Brewer in 1988 after graduating as a chemist from the University of Malta. After a short induc- tion period in the brewing department he followed a postgraduate course in Malt- ing and Brewing Science at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. Upon his return from Scotland, he joined the Farsons' Brewing team as Brewer Manager and was directly involved in a num- ber of brewing projects con- nected with the modernisa- tion and automation of the brewing plant. He became Head Brewer in 2004 with direct responsibilities for the brewing/water treatment op- erations and the overall qual- ity function. He also formed part of the technical team responsible for the build- ing of the new Brew House which was successfully com- missioned in 2012 and more recently the Beer Packaging Facility in 2016 as well as the new kegging plant this year. Caruana was appointed Head of Production in 2012 and was promoted to the post of Chief Operations Of- ficer – Designate in February 2017. He will now be head- ing all the operations teams and managing a state-of- the-art plant which has been commissioned over the past years. Norman Aquilina, Chief Executive Officer – Farsons Group, commented, "Whilst wishing Eugenio all the best in this new role and augur him every success, we look forward to the next phase of our operational development to deliver the best possible results from the investments we have commissioned re- cently. With new beers and further innovation in our product range planned, opti- misation of our manufactur- ing and technical processes will enhance overall perfor- mance of our operations." HSBC Foundation donates the magic of music to Sannat Special Unit IT'S music to the ears of young students of Gozo College San- nat Special Unit who can now dream to be their favourite pop star thanks to newly acquired musical instruments with the support of the HSBC Malta Foundation. The school has used the do- nation to purchase a variety of equipment such as keyboards and mixers, which can now in- spire more students to follow the footsteps of one of their fellow students of the Unit with severe autism who has recently learned to play the Maltese National Anthem. His achievement has proven that with the right oppor- tunities, equipment and support, all young people, whatever chal- lenges they may face, can reach their potential. Tattoo studio to tattoo people, celebrities in aid of LifeCycle TATTOO artist Jean Paul Attard of Posi- tive Vibrations Tattoo Studio, based in San Gwann, is teaming up with LifeCycle (Malta) Foundation to raise funds from tattooing customers. Between Monday 25th and Saturday 30th June 2018, the proceeds from his extraordinary artistic tattoos will be donated to LifeCycle Chal- lenge. Celebrities are encouraged to join this worthwhile initiative by contacting either LifeCycle Foundation or Jean Paul himself. For the second year running, Foster Clark's is the title sponsor of the LifeCy- cle Challenge which will be taking partici- pants to Dubai to cycle 2,000 km to Sala- lah in Southern Oman. The tattoo artist was touched by the LifeCycle's awareness and fund-raising campaign for persons suffering from re- nal failure. His sister-in-law experienced renal failure and has undergone two transplants. "It's my duty. Any person who is healthy and runs a business has an obligation to help those in need, whatever the cause. I am a great believer that there is hope in all difficult situations. I am also doing this for the cyclists who are push- ing themselves beyond their limits for the same cause. They are an inspiration for us, entrepreneurs, to support LifeCycle in helping renal patients," said Jean Paul Attard. For the past 19 years, LifeCycle has been raising money for life-saving equipment to help persons suffering from renal fail- ure, while advancing awareness about organ transplants in Malta. This year, the LifeCycle (Malta) Foundation is celebrat- ing its 20th anniversary since it was set up by its founder Alan Curry. LifeCycle Foundation Chairperson, Shirley Cefai, said: "We admire and thank Jean Paul Attard for his generous initia- tive. Donating all his work over a six-day period for a good cause is no mean feat. Those who visit his Positive Vibrations Tattoo Studio would be pleased to learn that their money will be going towards the needs of renal patients." The event "Tattoo for LifeCycle" runs from 25 – 30 June from 11.00 – 19.30hrs. Persons who wish to book an appoint- ment for a tattoo can contact Jean Paul directly on 79981911, or call a LifeCycle committee member on 7990 3961 / 7988 7889.
