Posted by | Jan 16, 2008 | |

Hongkong Post and China Post-Shenzhen Post Bureau today (January 16) jointly launched the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Direct Mail Service.
The service has been introduced in response to market demand for more efficient communication between Hong Kong and Shenzhen as a result of the increasingly prosperous social and economic interaction between the two places. Business enterprises of both regions can use the new service to develop cross-border business opportunities.
The implementation of the Individual Visit Scheme and the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) since 2004 has made the Mainland the biggest tourism market of Hong Kong. According to the statistics of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, there were 14 million Mainland visitors in 2006, within which Shenzhen contributed 47.2 pct, or more than six million visitors. The business as well as consumer demand for leisure, entertainment and shopping has continued growing, bringing tremendous business opportunities to business enterprises of both regions.
To introduce the new service, Hongkong Post and China Post-Shenzhen Post Bureau today jointly held a seminar on “How Direct Mail Can Help Companies Grasp the Cross-border Business Opportunities with Mainland China” at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre followed by the Agreement Signing Ceremony.

Hongkong Post chief credits his staff for the growing profits after reversing five years of deficits

Posted by | Mar 20, 2006 | |

Postmaster-General Allan Chiang Yam-wang knows just how important it is to deliver messages on time – not just the mail, but also corporate news to staff. When Mr Chiang took the helm in 2003, he was faced with a sea of red – Hongkong Post’s five consecutive years of losses. While he was there to make decisions, he realised that the staff needed to know what the financial position was with the post office. “We had not done enough in linking people in the past,” said Mr Chiang, who defined the interaction between his staff and the public as a way of linking people. And all the hard work is paying off, with the post office posting a 225 million dollars profit in the last financial year – up 1,223 per cent on the 17 million dollars profit of 2004, ending five years of deficits.
