What Clients Say
The Landing Pad was tasked with providing market intelligence and insights, identification and management of relevant stakeholders, arrangement of visit programmes for government representatives, as well as development of trade and investment opportunities. Strategic in their approach and focused in their delivery, The Landing Pad demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism and ability in every aspect.
Rowena’s core strengths are communication and facilitation, evident through various stages of the project. She took a leading role representing both government and private sector solutions, driving these with personal ownership and enthusiasm, ensuring progress and success for the project overall.
I worked with Cheryl on many HKSAR Government initiatives related to the tourism sector, including the promotion of Hong Kong as a centre for wine trade, the cruise hub of Asia and a premier destination for MICE events. Cheryl is a professional with high integrity, she is a strategic thinker and her work is always of the highest quality.
Their combined expertise across multiple industries, supported by their extensive knowledge of the local market, and their strategic approach and deep understanding of economic development activities provides an unmatched quality of service and support to foreign agencies seeking to attract foreign direct investment and trade from Hong Kong.
