A launch event to mark the opening of Guernsey's
representative office in Hong Kong attracted nearly 200
attendees.
Hosted on Wednesday 2 March at the China Club in Central, the
event outlined the services offered by Guernsey's international
finance centre and featured a panel discussion on the current
economic climate and keynote speeches from the Lord Flight, a
member of the House of Lords, and Deputy Lyndon Trott, Chairman of
Guernsey Finance and former Chief Minister of Guernsey.
Kate Clouston, Guernsey Finance's Director of International
Business Development, welcomed the audience by sharing some
anecdotes from the week's activities surrounding the office
launch, including a welcome in Mandarin for guests from China and
referencing British Consul General to Hong Kong Caroline
Wilson's remarks that 'now was exactly the right time to
open an office in Hong Kong'.
