Our heartfelt thanks go to the Hong Kong region’s immediate past chair, Daniel Sum for his hard work and dedication in the Hong Kong region. He has recently been elected to Council of Management and has stepped down as chair of the Hong Kong region with new chair, Cordia Yu taking up the mantle. It was a pleasure to also welcome Daniel at our Sale HQ office last month as he came to join us for the institution’s annual dinner. He even fortuitously won afternoon tea with champagne for two at the historic Midland Hotel in Manchester where the dinner was held.
