HONG KONG, Nov. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hutchison
Global Communications (HGC), the fixed-line division of Hutchison
Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (SEHK:215, "the
Group"), has won the Executive of the Year - Company
Leadership Award plus runner-up honours in the Project of the Year
category of the 2013 Capacity Global Carrier Awards.
The Capacity Magazine awards scheme enjoys high
profile in the telecoms carrier industry and aims to recognise and
commend operators demonstrating ongoing innovation, while providing
products and services that make a genuine difference. This year,
entrants competed in six categories.
Presented for the first time ever was the Executive of the
Year - Company Leadership Award, which was conferred on
Andrew Kwok, HGC's President of
International and Carrier Business.
This jewel in the crown of the awards ceremony rewarded
Andrew Kwok and his team for
excellent performance and achievement in enhancing HGC's business
growth in Asia. In particular, the
award was made in recognition of expanding the business, developing
international connectivity in Asia
and other emerging markets and promoting development of the Conexus
Mobile Alliance, as well as the wider telecoms industry.
The Project of the Year runner-up title was won by virtue of
HGC's one-stop Carrier Network Extension Service (CNX). A statement
from the panel of judges said: "HGC has enhanced both its services
and technology offerings over the last 12 months, helping it to tap
into new markets across Asia. Its
Carrier Network Extension (CNX) solution has helped telecoms
operators extend their network reach in a cost-effective way,
without the stress of establishing their own networks. The company
has also focused strongly on development of its content provider
solution."
Andrew Kwok, HGC President of
International and Carrier Business, said: "It is a great honour for
HGC to win the Executive of the Year - Company Leadership
Award, affirming management achievements in continuous growth of
the business and expanding into niche markets. We are also
delighted to win the runner-up title in the Project of the Year
category. We believe the key to winning this accolade was that HGC
pioneers in offering new services and one-stop shop telecoms
solutions. Drawing on a full understanding of emerging market
needs, HGC meets the comprehensive business development needs of
carriers and guides them through the complexities of extending into
the more challenging telecoms markets."
HGC is committed to exploring emerging markets and launched the
world's first terrestrial cable connection between Vietnam and Hong
Kong via mainland China in
2004. HGC was the first foreign telecoms operator to provide
international connectivity between Greater Mekong Subregion member
