much is

Mr Store-how. food news,

1. YOU MAY BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT A LARGELY BRITISH CONSORTIUM LED BY MOTT CONNELL LTD AND THE BRITISH AIRPORTS AUTHORITY, AND INCLUDING THE FAMOUS ARCHITECT NORMAN FOSTER, HAS WON THE CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN OF THE TERMINAL BUILDING AT THE NEW AIRPORT. FOR VARIOUS REASONS, THE PROVISIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY WILL NOT BE ANNOUNCING THIS FOR 2 OR 3 WEEKS.

2. THE DECISION WILL NEED TO BE FAIRLY CAREFULLY PRESENTED HERE, GIVEN FOSTER'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE NEW HSBC HEADQUARTERS, ON WHICH THERE WAS A MASSIVE COST OVERRUN.

3. GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD KEEP THIS NEWS TO THOSE WHO REALLY NEED TO KNOW. I WOULD NOT WISH IT TO FEED BACK TO HONG KONG THROUGH OTHER CHANNELS.
