Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl), the major air cargo handler at the world’s largest air cargo hub, has appointed Vivien Lau as Managing Director of its Hacis (Hong Kong Air Cargo Industry Services Limited) subsidiary. Lau replaces Kenneth Bell, who has transferred to Tradeport as Chief Executive.
Lau has worked for various companies wholly- or partly owned by the Jardine Matheson Group, the largest shareholder in Hactl, since 2000. She spent the first six years in EastPoint Property Management Limited, where she was responsible for business development, marketing, brand strategy and corporate communications.
She then moved to Jardine Airport Services Group (50%-owned by Jardines), where she was responsible for business expansion strategy in China, and helped establish the first Sino-foreign joint venture in Kunming.
In 2011, Lau was appointed Executive Assistant to the Managing Director of Jardine Matheson. She is an MBA scholarship winner from Henley Business School in the UK, holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences, and is a qualified management accountant.
Hacis’ main activities are express airfreight road feeder services to and from its six IATA-designated cargo depots situated throughout Southern China’s major industrial region; local airfreight collection and delivery services throughout Hong Kong; and added value services at its Chek Lap Kok base – such as pallet building and breakdown, packing and labelling, and provision of customer reception facilities.
