The SHKP Evergreen Club, established by the company in 2004 for retired colleagues, started with 30 members and has grown to 160 members today. As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the SHKP Evergreen Club recently hosted a feast for its members to celebrate the festival and the club's 15th anniversary.

SHKP Chairman and Managing Director Raymond Kwok appeared as a surprise guest at the gathering. He said that the initial objective of setting up the SHKP Evergreen Club was to provide an opportunity for retired colleagues to continue to socialize with one another and to encourage them to keep on giving valued feedback to the company to drive continued improvements at SHKP. At the end of the gathering, Raymond Kwok distributed gifts to all participating members and wished each and every one of them a happy Dragon Boat Festival.
