Our Managing Director, Grant Jamieson has been sampling video stardom at Westminster after being asked to record his opinions on business opportunities in modern-day China. Grant was attending the Processing and Packaging Machinery Association’s President’s Lunch held in The Churchill Room at the Houses of Parliament.
He was approached to participate in a promotional video for the PPMA, to comment on its many activities including the “Chinese Dragon Service.”
The video is due to be released in time for Spring 2011 and will focus on the PPMA’s membership benefits.
Grant was able to talk about Winkworth’s recently-opened office in Shanghai, China’s industrial powerhouse, and the appointment of our China Office Manager, Peter Wang.
“Winkworth's belief in the opportunities in China has led to Winkworth embracing China and the China office being established,” he said. “As a UK-based designer and manufacturer we need a positive, relevant and new perspective - we should encompass China as our friend.”
“My feedback on the video was all very positive as Winkworth have already made sales and delivered machinery from ' a standing start ' there last summer," he added.
The lunch was attended by the PPMA’s current president, Alan Yates and hosted by the PPMA’s Chief Executive, Chris Buxton.
About 100 guests attended including the PPMA China Office Manager, Craig Chen and the Vice-Mayor of Tongxiang City, Zhou Min.
During the event there were presentations focusing on “Harnessing the Power of the Chinese Dragon,” and guests were able to take a guided tour of the Palace of Westminster, courtesy of Tom Brake, Liberal Democrat MP for Carshalton & Wallington, who was the PPMA’s sponsor.
