“I’m proud to be chairing our 2018 conference and delighted to welcoming my fellow Brokerslink partners and affiliates to Hong Kong. This year we’re privileged to be joined by Mr. Clement Cheung, having recently been appointed as CEO of the Insurance Authority Hong Kong, his attendance signifies the importance of organisations like Brokerslink for the growth of the Asian insurance market.”.
