For the first time since it was established in 1962, the Limassol Chamber of Commerce and Industry has a woman as president. Anthi Theocharous, previously the chamber’s vice-president for tourism, was elected unopposed at its annual general meeting on 10 November.

Theocharous described the appointment as “both a great honour and a significant responsibility.” She thanked Limassol’s business community and the chamber’s board for their trust and support, and said she wanted to build on the work of her predecessors. She takes over for a three-year term from Andreas Tsouloftas, who led the chamber for six years and remains on its board as immediate past president.
The change is also one of remit. Theocharous had represented the tourism sector on the board since at least 2017. As president, she now speaks for businesses across the district, including in discussions with the government about which infrastructure projects should move forward and when.
