Veteran SeaLink Travel Group chairman Giuliano Ursini has advised he will be stepping down from the position after 19 years, taking the decision to retire.
Among Ursini’s achievements is steering the firm through its ASX listing in 2013 and overseeing vast fleet and network expansion.
Managing director Jeff Ellison praised Ursini’s work, saying since 1996, the company had grown and transformed from two vessels to 26 under his watch.
The company has now begun a search for a new Chairman.
MEANWHILE, former Tourism Australia managing director Andrew McEvoy has today been named as a new non-executive
independent director for SeaLink, with the post effective from Feb.
