Accolades for HSBC executives
Two HSBC executives, Group Finance Director Douglas Flint and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Chairman David Eldon, have recently been honoured for their achievements in business in 2003.
David Eldon was named 'Business Person of the Year' in the DHL/South China Morning Post's Hong Kong Business Awards 2003, while Douglas Flint won the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants’ (CIMA) award for ‘Business Leader of the Year’.
The DHL/South China Morning Post awards, now in their 14th year, aim to recognise companies and individuals that have encouraged entrepreneurial spirit in Hong Kong and excelled in sustaining high standards of corporate management.
Eldon is the second HSBC executive to have been honoured with the award after former HSBC Group Chairman Sir William Purves won it in 1992.
Eldon said: "I am honoured to receive this award from DHL and the South China Morning Post. In reality, it is a reflection of the incredible support I have from a group of very talented people. A group of very hard-working people - my colleagues at HSBC. I am honoured to accept the award on their behalf."
Douglas Flint’s ‘Business Leader of the Year’ award is given by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants to celebrate the most influential and successful of its members and stakeholders.
The CIMA judges said: "As an Executive Director [of HSBC] since 1995, Flint has played a significant role in creating a framework in which the business has grown successfully in different cultures. As the person responsible for ensuring the integrity of the financial information shown to the outside world and to his shareholders, one of his greatest achievements has been the consistency of shareholder contact over the past few years.”
CIMA President Claire Ighodaro said: "Douglas Flint is a CIMA member who has made a significant difference to the success of his company. His commitment, leadership and skill have led to major strategic and financial wins."
