GROWING BRIGHTER

THE BOLD NEW SPIRIT OF HONG KONG’S FRESH MARKETS

Link’s aim is to create value across its business. Its endeavours have been recognised by a range of industry organisations in Hong Kong, Asia and further afield. This recognition has come from bodies such as the World Union of Wholesale Markets, the International Council of Shopping Centres, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, the Hong Kong Productivity Council and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service.

In one award citation, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce judging panel said that Link’s revitalisation of its traditional fresh markets had successfully integrated overseas experiences into the local model. This innovation has managed to create new value for all of Link’s stakeholders; retaining community shoppers, attracting younger visitors and encouraging the inheritance of family businesses.

“It could become a benchmark for other fresh markets to follow,”

the panel stated.
