A Hong Kong Success Story

William Buck New Zealand director Arran Boote’s work to develop trade through Hong Kong has won a 'Success Story Award' from the Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).

• Assisted New Zealand and Australian businesses, particularly in the consulting areas, to establish their Hong Kong base for their pan-Asian expansion.

• Supported New Zealand exporters to link Singapore into their existing Hong Kong businesses.

• Helped New Zealand exporters to utilise the HK/PRC CEPA agreement to overcome the need to obtain separate licence registration in Hong Kong.

• Set up trading houses in Hong Kong for various import / export entities.
