Aug 18 2008 by Alex Turner, Liverpool Daily Post

OPPORTUNITIES for Liverpool’s professional services firms in China is the subject of a seminar organised by Professionaliverpool.

It has brought together three presenters with experience in trading and working in China to highlight the potential markets offered by the country.

Jessica Zhang, from the China Britain Business Council, Liverpool Shanghai Partnership’s executive director Dr Kerry Brown and Julie Greensword, an international adviser with UK Trade & Investment, will outline the business opportunities for the financial and professional services sector currently available in China.

Mark Chadwick, chief executive of Professionaliver- pool, said: “As China’s economy continues to expand and develop, the demand for financial and professional services is increasing at an exponential rate, and so is the call for information from our members in the lead-up to Shanghai Expo 2010.

“Globalisation, sovereign wealth funds, emerging markets and increasing trade are just some of the factors presenting new and exciting financial and professional services opportunities in China.

“Professionaliverpool is hosting this ‘new markets’ event with an extended invitation to members of the Liverpool Law Society and the Institute of Chartered Accountants.”

The lunch will take place on Wednesday at Racquet Club, Chapel Street, Liverpool, from 12.30pm-2pm. For more information, call 0151 795 0125.
