With this strengthened wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE), we are able to tap into the growth opportunities in the GBA and offer more qualification programmes and training courses in the region by establishing relations with regulatory authorities, government institutions, professional bodies, and corporates in Mainland China. Office Relocation Following the approaching end of the lease term of our Hong Kong office and warehouse in 2022, we initiated an assessment of a possible renovation or relocation of our premises. After more than 20 years at Wing On Centre at Sheung Wan, the Board decided to move to a new office premise in Taikoo Place at Quarry Bay, after detailed assessment of the Institute’s business needs and future growth. New elements have been planned for the new office to fit our new business model, to offer comfortable and user- friendly facilities for our examination candidates, learners, and members, as well as to provide an energetic and collaborative working environment for our staff.
