FCI announced last year that the current Director of Planning and Development, Mr. Harry Biletta will retire effective 29 February 2020. We want to thank Harry for his long service at FCI and for all of his accomplishments during this time, including  his contributions to the building and overall efficient running of edifactoring.com, his annual exercise of gathering the global statistics, his organization of the FCI international factoring awards, and so many others, too many to be named.  We wish Harry all the best in his retirement!I am pleased to announce that FCI has hired his successor, Mr. Ciprian Radu.
