In 2020 the Swire Group marked its 150th anniversary of operating in Hong Kong. But why did this small company, originally established in Liverpool, and involved in the trade between Britain and North America, come to Hong Kong, and how did it grow and stay there. Robert Bickers will introduce his book about the company's history and discuss these questions.
