"This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong Business Awards. We started this in 1989. It has developed into Hong Kong's premier business award programme," said Ken Lee, the Hong Kong and Macau managing director of global logistics major DHL.

The number of award categories has expanded from four initially to nine now, Lee said.

The judging for the awards will be held on October 17 and the results will be announced at a gala dinner on December 11.

The awards were established to encourage and sustain the region's entrepreneurial spirit and recognise excellence in corporate management and governance.
