Following the recent arrival of Lorinda Peasland and on the back of what will be a record financial year for Hong Kong which has allowed us to substantially grow our office and make internal promotions, these appointments demonstrate our continuing commitment to growing the Appleby Hong Kong office and I look forward to working with the expanded team as we continue to focus on providing a first-class service to our clients.”
