Phillip Nassief<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Phillip Nassief, one of Dominica’s most outstanding businessmen, has died.<\/p>\n

He passed away at his residence at Belfast on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nassief”s major business undertakings in Dominica include Dominica Coconut Products (DCP) which he started in the 1960s and later sold to Colgate Palmolive in 1995, Belfast Rum, and Fort Young Hotel which he purchased in 1988.<\/p>\n
