The award has a special meaning for GELEC as it is the first received by the team acquired by S H R I R O in 2000 from D o d w e l l Engineering. Considering that the economy of Hong Kong saw a downturn in 2001, this award is very highly regarded by the company. Perhaps more importantly, it is a testament to the close working relationship between GELEC and their Principle CAPE Asia Pacific, which has undoubtedly contributed to this success. However, the final congratulations must go to the team responsible for the award.
