Folli Follie CEO: In 2023 the return of the FF Group to profitability

The president and CEO, Giorgos Samios, expressed his belief that the FF Group will return to profitability in 2023 in an interview with the Athenian Macedonian News Agency. His optimism stems from the fact that the business plan that has been prepared is being implemented consistently while the new management continues its work with optimism, knowledge and stubbornness.

“Our group is entitled to claim the position of champion in the industry. It has the know-how, the employees and the means, not just to maintain, but to grow further. If everyone to contribute in order to overcome all the external difficulties that have arisen is enough,” says Mr. Samios and adds: “it is in the interest of all of us, of the prestige of our country towards foreign investors, employees, of the Greek economy, but also the citizens who want to see Greek companies progress “.

Having completed more than two years at the helm of FF Group, speaking to AMNA, Mr. Samios takes stock of all that has been achieved so far in the context of the consolidation of the Group and keeping the company alive, analyzes the pillars of management in the immediate future and at the same time points out the dangers that threaten to blow up the whole project.

As the FF Group takes the final steps towards the consolidation process, Mr. Samios brings back in his interview the issue of the release of the company’s assets, which have been pledged by the Anti-Money Laundering Authority and the investigating authorities. and focuses on the need to speed up legal proceedings. He emphasizes, in fact, that without the release of assets (real estate and bank accounts), the consolidation plan will not be able to be implemented as planned and now all possibilities will be open, including, unfortunately, bankruptcy. In this case, according to Mr. Samios, “all the efforts of the current administration, the employees, the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, the creditors, but also of the legislator himself, who enacted the provisions that allowed the consolidation of the company, will be in vain.” .

With time pressing hard, Mr. Samios reiterates once again that “the completion of the consolidation, as soon as possible, is the best means of restoring the company’s creditors, both public and private, but also protecting our employees. , of our suppliers and the market, all of which have been affected by any illegal acts committed “.
