SCLP Event Summary - Networking Mixer for
Supply Chain & Logistics Professionals
Thursday 25 January 2018 at The Volvo Race Village
Guest Speaker - Andrew Pindar, OBE DL, Volvo Race Ambassador
Thank You for attending our networking mixer for Supply Chain & Logistics Professionals (SCLP) on Thursday 25 January, held at the HGC VIP Pavilion, The Volvo Race Village, at Kai Tak Park - part of the Volvo Ocean Race and Festival in Hong Kong for the first time ever.
Guest speaker Andrew Pindar OBE DL, Volvo Race Ambassador, shared some fascinating insights about the logistics aspects of the Volvo Ocean Race, which is considered one of the toughest sport competitions in the world - an eight month around-the-world sailing race, stopping at twelve cities - this year including Hong Kong for the first time.
‘As I travel the world with our business GAC Pindar, delivering the logistics for the Volvo Ocean Race, we get to attend many business functions but I can readily say that Mark Millar and SCLP have found a winning formula. A measure of success at these events is the number of business cards that you hand out and collect, and - on the basis that I have had to send for a reprint - this SCLP evening was outstanding!’
Andrew Pindar OBE DL, Volvo Race Ambassador

“HFW was delighted to sponsor SCLP’s January 2018 Networking Mixer. From our previous SCLP sponsorship, we knew it would be a well-organised and well-attended event. Being the first time the round the world Volvo Ocean Race has stopped in Hong Kong in its 37-year history, we were particularly keen to be involved. It was a great location and convivial environment for the Mixer. A good time was had by all and it was great to forge new, and strengthen existing, relationships with attendees from the HK logistics community. Thanks, Mark and team! ”
“Mark Millar’s SCLP events are always exciting and filled with interesting topics and industry people. This time we were extremely lucky to have an opportunity to sponsor this special event in Volvo Ocean Race village and learn about logistics related with global sport event logistics.

I warmly recommend SCLP networking events to anyone who interested to promote his company to the logistics community in Hong Kong”
