I am a senior public relations executive based in Hong Kong - see the Experience tab for the clients I've worked with over the years.
In 2021, I founded Eight PR, a PR agency in Hong Kong.
My first solo trip to China was circa 1985 (train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou). I am a frequent driver in Guangdong, Greater Bay Area.
I have written and self-published ebooks on PR which are available in online bookstores and libraries. I did this more to raise my profile following the decision to start my own agency.
I'm a self-confessed lover of all things tech, both B2B and B2C. Love network rooms. Used to build my own gaming PCs. Huge fan of Forge of Empires, Commandos 2 - Men of Courage, Tomb Raider II, Age of Empires, and Red Alert (my first and only LAN gameplay in - eek! - 1997/8).
A dog, and three cats.
My new blog, Eight Insights (www.eightinsight.com), is for posts about self-drive holidays in China and on other matters that interest me.
In a personal capacity, I promote Funds Sniper (www.fundssniper.com), a search engine for easy, economical access to 18,000 private equity & venture capital funds and 20,000 contacts. Use code: amb-ogFFA for a subscription discount.
I was born in the UK and first visited Hong Kong on holiday in 1984. I returned to work there in 1991 but wanted proper regional experience rather than sit behind a desk, so I packed up and moved to Malaysia in 1995. In 1999, I packed up and returned to Hong Kong for good!
