New accolades and experience enhance AsiaWorld-Expo's venue and services
Senior appointments bring new skills to AsiaWorld-Expo team

Two top-tier executives have joined AsiaWorld-Expo's management team. Mr. Trevor Lui has joined as the Corporate Development Director, while Ms. Monique Yeung has come on board as the Head of Business Development.

AsiaWorld-Expo's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Allen Ha said the appointments would bring valuable insight and experience at a time of exceptional opportunity and growth in the industry. "I am confident that Trevor and Monique's experience will help reinforce our position as Asia's leading events venue," Mr. Ha added.

'Caring Company' and 'Air Quality' awards enhance AsiaWorld-Expo services

AsiaWorld-Expo has garnered two more valuable accolades with a 'Caring Company' accreditation and an 'Indoor Air Quality' certificate.

The Caring Company Scheme awards its coveted logo to businesses that demonstrate good citizenship. Commenting on AWE's training and work-trial programmes with various Non-Profit Organisations, AsiaWorld-Expo's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Allen Ha, said, "These initiatives benefit not only the people we help, but also develop significant team work skills for our AsiaWorld-Expo staff."

The Indoor Air Quality Certification was awarded after stringent government testing. "We wanted to be a leading participant in this voluntary scheme which gives our staff and clients complete peace of mind that our venue offers exceptional air quality," said Mr. Ha.

Hi-tech AsiaWorld-Expo adds free Wi-Fi spots across venue
Adding to AsiaWorld-Expo's customer-friendly features, a free Wi-Fi service is now available in designated locations throughout the venue. The Wi-Fi service supplements the existing world-class ICT facilities offered by Hong Kong's largest telecom service provider, PCCW.

New in-house F&B team brings exciting catering offers
In order to enhance the Food & Beverage Services and further strengthen the excellence of catering offers, AsiaWorld-Expo has recently incorporated an in-house F&B team, which comprises experienced chefs led by Executive Chef Ricky Chan, a member of Hong Kong's Culinary Team and Gold Medal Winner at IFHS2007, as well as other professionals in the industry.
