Duncan Wilson has led Minoan since 2009
THE MANAGING director of leisure business Minoan Group has left the firm as part of the disposal of travel agency arm Stewart Travel.
The firm said it wished Duncan Wilson, who has run Minoan since 2009, “every success” in the new venture.
Stewart Travel has been acquired by Minoan’s lender Zachary Asset Holdings, which has wiped out all but £1 million of Minoan’s £8.3m debt in exchange for taking the travel agency off its hands. The debt to Zachary started off as a £5m loan taken out in 2013.
Minoan is now left as the developer of an as-yet un-started luxury resort on the Greek island of Crete.
The firm said earlier this week that it expects to soon secure partners for the project.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
