Paul O’Sullivan, CEO of Trade Winds Corporation said “When I met these distinguished gentlemen in London last year, I took an instant liking to them. I am confident that with their guidance, Trade Winds will be ready to go, just as soon as the Covid pandemic is out of the way and we can get our feet back on the ground in St Helena.”
