hey flew in from all over the
world. Presidents of global
product giants like Unilever,
L’Oréal, Henkel, and Procter
& Gamble. Third-generation
stewards of European fashion houses
of long repute and deep tradition. Even
Stella McCartney, the fashion giant,
shared a thoughtful presentation with the
prestigious audience. And they all came to
Hong Kong to commune with their partner
in bringing their products and brand
experience to billions across Asia and
Europe: the A S Watson Group (ASW).
Dominic Lai, ASW Group Managing
Director, played host along with the
leadership of the retail group from across
the two continents. By bringing ASW’s
committed partners to Hong Kong, they
could ensure mutual success through a
shared vision that was crafted, in part, at
the conference.
T
Over 120 top executives and innovators
from 34 suppliers came to the biennial
event in Hong Kong, providing a great
opportunity to exchange views and
strategies on customer engagement. ASW,
as the largest health and beauty retailer in
Asia and Europe, has an impact on the rise
and fall of the fortune of global leaders in
the industry. Speaker after speaker from
the retail group shared what they had
learned in their markets and showed that
the way forward for the industry was to
succeed by supporting the ASW vision.
Each would, if their division was counted
alone, be the leader of a massive global
player. They are all part of the team that
the makers of health and beauty products
depend on for sales and look to globally for
leadership.
At the forefront of that star team of
hundreds of global executives is Dominic
Lai, leading the charge by outlining ASW’s
“We are determined to
shape our future, rather
than let the future
shape us.”

ASW Group Managing Director
ASW’s partners, global giants in their own spheres, gather to
affirm their relationship with the retail group.
