Tartan tactics win in China
November 16, 2011 by Grace Franklin
A unique opportunity to learn how to do business in China will be given to companies who attend the China-Britain Business Council’s event in Glasgow on Thursday 17 November.
The places to go and challenges and pitfalls to expect, will be related by Stewart Ferguson and Mavis Yang of the Council. Said Stewart – who learned to speak Mandarin at the age of 16: ‘ Our research shows that UK companies are not as familiar as they need to be with the lesser known cities of China. We’ve identified 35 major cities where there are real opportunities across all business sectors.’
The research was done by the Council and the Centre of International Business at the University of Leeds for and UK Trade and Industry.
Among the companies sharing their experience in China are Glasgow based architects Keppie Design who first became active there in 2009 and opened an office in Hong Kong last year. That has now become the centre for Keppie’s developing workload across targeted sectors in the China region.
