Our Singapore party-goers, Mahua and John, report back from this week's APIC conference that the most popular parties were undoubtedly the Braemar Quincannon 10th Anniversary celebration and the ICIS Spanish-themed tapas and sangria party in the glistening courtyard of the former cloistered convent school Chijmes.
John notes that at the BQ party the traditional host's welcoming speech received considerably more attention than usual when host Mark S paraded his team of Singapore shipbrokers on the stage, many of whom were startlingly pretty women in full evening dress. It seems that some guests made unfavourable comparisons with the more bloke-ish lineups one would find at other shipbrokers.
Shipbroking requires attention to detail and good personal relationship skills which can be found in people of all shapes, sizes, creeds, colours and all sexes. We are lucky to have built a team in Singapore that has these skills and that can cover the liquid gas and liquid chemical markets around the globe with ease and efficiency. Furthermore in the East the person's ability is put before the rest.
