Victor Fung, a tireless advocate of globalisation and head of the world’s largest supply chain manager, has been honoured for a lifetime of corporate achievements at the 2019 DHL-SCMP Hong Kong Business Awards.

Fung, the chairman of the Fung Group, is the seventh person to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award in the 30-year history of the awards. Previous winners included Hong Kong’s wealthiest man Li Ka-shing (2010), Lee Man Tat of Lee Kum Kee (2018) and L.T. Lam (2017), the creator of the iconic yellow rubber duck that marks Hong Kong’s development into a global toy manufacturing powerhouse.

The awards, jointly organised by DHL and the South China Morning Post, have been celebrating exceptional contributions by Hong Kong’s business owners and corporate executives since 1989, doubling from their original four prizes to eight categories including start-ups, small and medium enterprises, and lifetime achievement.

“Since the awards were launched 30 years ago, the city’s business landscape has undergone vast changes,” said Ng Chee Choong, managing director of DHL Express Hong Kong and Macau. “But all the while, these awards have served as a symbol of recognition for the individual companies that have weathered through the adversity and made Hong Kong what it is today.”

They’ve exhibited the foresight, creativity and courage necessary for innovation, and we look forward to building a better future for Hong Kong businesses for years to come.”
