"Our relentless pursuit of adding value to our current and potential clients has served the Financial PR Group of companies well during the worst financial and economic crisis" she told NextInsight.
”Financial PR has emerged stronger from the crisis with a solid regional foot print in Hong Kong and an insightful online media platform (www.nextinsight.net) dedicated to highlighting a wide range of listed small- to medium-cap companies.
”But there is nothing to be complacent about. I was on stage with the chiefs from Thomson Medical Group, Best Word Intl, Xpress Print, and many more prominent brands. I was inspired to learn from these truly successful companies."
Financial PR, which was founded in 2001 by Kathy, has a subsidiary, Aries Consulting, in Hong Kong headed by Mark Lee.
"Credit goes to my colleagues in Aries. They worked hard and took a lot of nonsense from me. We also have good friends in Hong Kong who gave us support when we most needed it. They encouraged us when nobody gave us a chance of making it. To these friends, I thank you with my heart," said Mark.
Here are pictures of the winning team at the award ceremony and dinner.
