Maurice Mizzi, a name “synonymous with business” in Malta, is set to retire in the coming days.

He joined the family business, Mizzi Organisation, in 1957 – when Malta was still a British colony.

He has been involved in the country’s business scene ever since, overseeing the firm’s expansion and growth in new sectors.

On 1st May, Mr Mizzi will retire from the Boards of Directors of Consolidated Holdings Ltd and Mizzi Organisation Ltd.

The companies are involved in several sectors, including automotive (through Mizzi Motors, Muscats Motors, Continental Cars and Industrial Motors), retail (via the Arkadia brand), engineering (as Titan International), hospitality (the Waterfront Hotel and Mellieħa Bay Hotel), and real estate.

Mr Mizzi had previously retired from the Board of General Soft Drinks, which operates the group’s beverage segment, in January 2024. GSD is the local licensee of Coca-Cola.

The announcement of his retirement came through a company update on the Malta Stock Exchange, issued by Mizzi Organisation Finance plc, the group’s finance arm.

Born in 1936, Mr Mizzi turns 90 this year.

Along with Mr Mizzi, Prof. Andrew Muscat will also be resigning from the company boards.

Taking their place are John Zarb, Anthony Diacono and Martin Galea.
