On the 31st of May 1983, after the recommendations of Lord Shackleton’s 1982 Economic Study, FIDC was born to be the agency to encourage and assist the economic development of the Islands through Agriculture, Tourism, Fishing and Industry.
The Corporation was constituted when the FIDC Ordinance 1983 came into effect on the 14th of June 1984 and commenced operation in July 1984 with numerous projects already set in motion.
The 40th Anniversary celebrations were marked with a reception attended by some of the corporations past and present employees, board members and clients. It was pleasing to hear the many stories of challenges and triumphs of 40 years of operation with a positive outlook for the future.
Thank you to Malvina House Hotel for wonderful hosting and catering, and to Homemade Bakes for the delicious cake and cupcakes!
