Pierre Galea Elected MDA Acting General Secretary

In the heart of Malta’s bustling capital, Valletta, the Malta Developers Association (MDA) has a new face at the helm. Pierre Galea, a name familiar to many in the local property scene, has been elected as the association’s acting general secretary. The announcement was made at the MDA’s annual general meeting, held in the grand surroundings of the Grandmaster’s Palace.

A Familiar Face in the Property Scene

Pierre Galea is no stranger to the Maltese property market. With over a decade of experience under his belt, he has been a prominent figure in the MDA, serving as the association’s treasurer for the past three years. His election as acting general secretary is seen as a natural progression, a testament to his dedication and commitment to the industry.

Galea, who works as the head of sales and marketing at Tumas Group, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role. His understanding of the local property market, coupled with his passion for the industry, makes him an ideal candidate to lead the MDA during these challenging times.

Challenges Ahead: Brexit and Beyond

The property market in Malta is facing a number of challenges, not least of which is the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Brexit. With the UK being a significant market for Maltese property, the potential impact of Brexit on the industry is a major concern. Galea, however, is optimistic about the future.

“Brexit presents challenges, yes, but it also presents opportunities,” he says. “We need to be proactive, to adapt and innovate. That’s what I intend to do as acting general secretary – to work with our members to navigate these challenges and turn them into opportunities.”

Another challenge facing the property market is the need for sustainable development. Malta, like many other small island nations, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Galea is committed to promoting sustainable development within the industry.

“Sustainability is not just a buzzword,” he says. “It’s a necessity. We need to build for the future, and that means building sustainably. I’m looking forward to working with our members to promote green building practices and sustainable development.”

: A New Chapter for the MDA

Pierre Galea’s election as acting general secretary marks a new chapter for the MDA. Under his leadership, the association is committed to working with its members to promote the interests of the property industry, to advocate for sustainable development, and to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

As Galea takes up his new role, he has a clear vision for the future. “I’m excited about the opportunity to lead the MDA at this crucial time,” he says. “Together with our members, I’m looking forward to shaping the future of the Maltese property market.”
