Legal eagles celebrate the Orient

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- The event saw the Pardoes office transformed into an Oriental delight with lanterns, wall hangings and dragons, while a traditional Chinese feast was served to the 25 local businesses that attended.

Denys Rayner, Chief Executive at Pardoes, said, “We believe strongly in the local community and enjoy holding events that help the business community. We felt that the Chinese New Year provided the ideal opportunity for us to host an event where we could show local businesses that it is possible to export to China. We are passionate about the future economy of the area and look forward to hosting more events of this kind during the year.”

Darren Horne, Director of The Culture Exchange, commented, “It was great to see Pardoes demonstrating such an understanding of Chinese business culture. China is a notoriously difficult market to break into for multiple reasons and Pardoes demonstrated extremely well that the legal and due diligence aspects of international trade needn’t be an obstacle, nor does the issue of cultural differences and meeting potential suppliers and clients from China.”
