HKGCC’s Certification Division marked the opening of its new Head Office in Mong Kok with a ceremony on 28 February attended by a number of the Chamber’s clients and senior staff members as well as certification employees.
“We are delighted to celebrate the launch of our new Certification Headquarters,” said Chamber Chairman Stephen Ng, who officiated at the opening ceremony. “The new location offers greater convenience to our clients, and the spacious offices provide a more welcoming environment for customers as well as a better working environment for staff.”
HKGCC is one of the five HKSAR approved certification bodies. It offers companies and traders a convenient network of seven branches across Hong Kong that provide a range of business certification and documentation services, as well as an up-to-date IT system to support a comprehensive online application platform.
“In an evolving business environment, we have to stay relevant and competitive to keep abreast of the changes in the evolving market,” said Thinex Shek, Director of Certification.
Mong Kok is a place of strategic importance for the certification business, and the Head Office contributes nearly 30% of total income. Hong Kong’s excellent public transport system means it is easily accessible – in fact, about 80% of clients served by the Mong Kok branch come from other areas, including the Mainland.
The new offices have a net floor area of 2,500 square feet, and the layout ensures the best use of space to serve the Division’s business operation and document storage needs. This spacious environment not only benefits visitors but also ensures a comfortable and efficient workspace for staff.
“All these reinforce some of the Chamber’s core values – we are a people’s business and a caring employer,” Shek said.
