Mr Simon Shaw, Group Chief Executive Officer of Savills, said in his opening remarks, “Thank you for joining us to celebrate our 40th anniversary in Hong Kong. Over the past four decades, Hong Kong has experienced periods of rapid growth as well as challenging economic and property market cycles. Throughout each cycle, the property market has demonstrated its ability to adapt, recover and move forward, and our business has followed the same trajectory. None of this would have been possible without the trust and support of our clients over the years. Your confidence and loyalty have enabled us to continue to grow and thrive. Looking ahead, we will further develop across the Asia-Pacific region, while strengthening and expanding our expertise and capabilities. This region is central to Savills’ future, just as it has long been an integral part of our history. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our success. Together, we look to the future with confidence.”

Thank you for entrusting us with your important projects. For us, completing a transaction is always rewarding, but the greatest recognition of our team’s efforts comes when clients choose to work with us again or recommend us to others. The strength of our Hong Kong team lies in its deep understanding of the local market, combined with its global connections. By drawing on the Group’s resources and worldwide network, we are able to offer clients a broader perspective and a more comprehensive range of services. Looking ahead, markets and technologies will continue to evolve, but our commitment to professionalism, integrity and putting our clients’ interests first will remain unchanged.”

The reception featured a thoughtfully curated programme combining music, magic and traditional instrumental performances to add depth and an element of surprise to the celebration. The evening commenced with Hong Kong soprano Hedy Chan, who was accompanied by a string quartet to perform a moving rendition of Mattinata, setting an elegant yet lively tone for the reception. Renowned magician Louis Yan then took to the stage. Known for his close-up magic and interactive performances, he engaged guests with skilful sleight of hand and well-timed humour, drawing waves of laughter and applause and bringing the atmosphere to a crescendo. Finally, renowned shakuhachi player Mr Sunny Yeung and yangqin player Ms Kwok Ka-ying took to the stage for the grand finale. The deep, resonant tones of the shakuhachi, complemented by the yangqin, lent the lively celebration a touch of Zen-like tranquillity and poetic elegance. The series of performances not only showcased a sophisticated appreciation for lifestyle and the arts, but also allowed guests to connect and mingle in a relaxed and refined atmosphere, raising their glasses in conversation and sharing a memorable evening.
