Subsequent to the huge success of recent Hong Kong Sixes, especially in 2007, both
CCIL and the HKCA Executive have acknowledged that the event has grown into a
multi-million dollar commercial concern requiring full-time, dedicated attention in order
to maximise the benefits of sponsorship, commercial rights, marketing and income for
the HKCA. The urgent creation of a full-time position was agreed to take up immediate
and essential organizational arrangements for this year's event in addition to its
operational management. To these ends, a new and separate CCIL office has been
opened to deal exclusively with the Sixes and to relieve space congestion in the
existing HKCA office. The appointment of Mark Burns is temporary pending a full
recruitment exercise for a permanent Chief Executive post next year.
The CCIL Board of Directors and the HKCA Executive Committee wish to record their
sincere thanks and appreciation for the tremendous work done by the outgoing
Tournament Director, Mr. Glyn Davies without whose efforts, the event could not have
developed to such a successful level and to the extent that a full-time position is
required.
