IN THIS ISSUE
we introduce
a new feature – Team
Players – which focuses on
members of staff who have
done something remarkable outside the office
and how this helps them in the work place.
Our first team player is Henry Tang Hon-sing,
who has raced against some of the world’s best
110 metre hurdlers, including China’s Olympic gold
medalist Liu Xiang. He now works at the Watsons
Athletic Club in Hong Kong.
If you have a colleague who excels at a sport,
has an interesting hobby or generally makes
the world a better place, please nominate them
by contacting
so we can
feature them in a future issue.
Elsewhere in the magazine, we look at why
boutique hotels have become so popular, explore
the world of social networking and discover how a
medicine company has become a trusted brand in
southern China.
We hope you enjoy the magazine.
Welcome
