TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1983
+THE FACT THAT THE PREMISES ARE MUCH LARGER THAN THE OL, OFFIC SPACE IN INTERNATIONAL BUILDING IN CENTRAL DISTRICT, REFLECTS THE GROWTH OF THE CORPORATION AND THE DEMAND FOR ITS SERVICES, + MR DORWARD REMARKED.
+THE SECOND SYMBOLIC ASPECT, IT SEEMS TO ME IS THAT THIS NEW OFFICE IS IN TSIM SHA TSUI, REFLECTING THE WAY IN WHICH THE COMMERCIAL CENTRE OF HONG KONG HAS SPREAD IN RECENT YEARS FROM THE FEW BLOCKS OF CONNAUGHT ROAD, DES VOEUX ROAD AND QUEEN'S ROAD, WHICH ONCE MARKED ITS LIMITS.
+ IF ANYONE HAS ANY LINGERING DOUBTS ABOUT THE WISDOM OF THIS MOVE, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT OUR EXPERIENCE WHEN WE MOVED THE OLD TRADE INDUSTRY AND CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT FROM CENTRAL TO TSIM SHA TSUI SOME YEARS AGO WAS VERY SATISFACTORY AND APPARENTLY APPRECIATED BY MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS,+ SAID MR DORWARD.
+BUT JUST BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING HAS CHANGED, AND FOR THE EXPORT CREDIT INSURANCE CORPORATION IT IS VERY MUCH BUSINESS AS USUAL. I AM SURE THE COMMISSIONER AND HIS STAFF WILL ATTEND TO THAT BUSINESS WITH THEIR USUAL ENTHUSIASM, ENHANCED BY THE STIMULATION OF THEIR NEW SURROUNDINGS,+ HE CONCLUDED.
