ELCOME TO ISSUE 15 of
Sphere
,
your in-house company journal.
In this issue, we take you to
London, San Francisco and Eastern Europe
and also look at how technology is changing
the world of transportation. Congratulations
are in order too, Hutchison’s 3G customer
base has reached 10 million!
But first to London where we look at two
important developments - elegant retailer
Sen is offering Chinese healthcare in an
authentic modern setting and a striking new
Hutchison residential complex has become
the talk of the town.
In California, a generous donation from
the Li Ka Shing Foundation is helping the
University of California, Berkeley, to fight
disease while in Eastern Europe Hutchison
is helping consumers to enjoy the good life.
We hope you find these articles interesting.
