On 13th November, Richard Kendall, former HAECO Group Chief Commercial Officer, attended the Remembrance Day service in Hong Kong on behalf of the Swire Group. The service marked the first time since the onset of COVID-19 that wreaths could be laid in person at the base of the Cenotaph in Central’s Statue Square. The ceremony commemorates those who lost their lives in defence of freedom in two world wars and various conflicts since. Richard commented: “It was a privilege to commemorate those who lost their lives – in particular, during the Battle of Hong Kong in December 1941. For me personally, it was a poignant reminder of friends lost during the Falklands War 40 years ago, when I served in the Royal Navy prior to joining Swire.”
