Liam Richardson talks to The Hong Kong Trade Development Council

“Pure’s 10-year presence in the [Hong Kong] equips us to respond to market pressure by delivering a higher level of service. Within each of our disciplines we have people with over a decade of experience, and long-term client relationships allowing them to access high-level work.
