12.30-2.30pm
Meeting Cathy Li, Director and Marketing Manager,
Anderson Group Ltd.
Unit 1505,15/F, Well Fong Industrial
Centre
68 Ta Chaeu Ping Street, Kwai Chung, N.T Hong Kong .
Ms Li is being considered as a potential SABAN
ambassador . She completed her post graduate studies
at the University of South Australia. Her previous position was as Marketing Manager for the family's
ceramics business, based in the Guang Dong economic province of China. This business exports
approximately 40%
of its product to Beaumont Tiles in Australia. Ms Li has therefore been a frequent
visitor to Australia and South Australia and has an excellent understanding of business workings in
Australia.
Ms
Li has now moved into the packaging business . Her company is in competition to that owned by
Chris Suek and is also located in Guang Dong province . The difference in the Anderson Group is that it
specialises in the production of pallets made from recycled paper and cardboard instead of timber . Ms
Li is extremely proud of this production which is regarded as a leader in `Green' production and
recycling in the world.
Recycling paper and cardboard is transported to Shen Zin from all over China.
The pallets are widely used throughout the Shen Zin Port and Hong Kong port and are acclaimed to be
as strong as timber, but more environmentally friendly .
6.00-7.00pm
Meeting with Brenton Wright, SABAN Ambassador and Director of Lizards Drinking, a
consultancy company providing advice to a wide range of private companies and government
departments both in South Australia and Hong Kong.

Lizard Drinking works with public and private enterprises wishing to transform
their performance or
seeking to solve significant organisational challenges . They take a "whole-of-enterprise" view of
performance, structure and strategic direction and provide solutions which take into account the
prevailing business environment, client aspirations and all aspects of organisational
management .
Brenton is a South Australian who has been living in Hong Kong with his wife for the past 6 months
(as his daughter, her husband and grandchild are currently living and working there) . He
was one of the
original SABAN
Ambassadors appointed by John Olsen and has been a dedicated and active
participant in this scheme . He would like to have more contact with Ambassadors in Hong Kong and
offered to support and facilitate communication between the other Ambassadors and potential
Ambassadors on behalf of the South Australian Government . Lizards Drinking is still active in South
Australia and Brenton is well positioned to provide liaison between South Australia and Hong Kong as
his business frequently brings him back to the State .
N .B We have been able to provide contact details with other SABAN members with Hong Kong on
return to South Australia with those members permission .
