What is CAN?

CAN was established in November 2007 with a group of founder members whose areas of business expertise range from recruitment to tourism and business consultancy to marketing. The common thread is that all members are actively working in or with Chinese businesses. CAN provides members with a forum for discussion, exchange of views and support and will act as a platform to present a corporate profile and represent the views of a group of people who share the same area of work, albeit from many different angles.

Origin of Network

The inspiration for CAN came from Madeleine Sturrock of PanCathay Consulting “Having worked with China for many years, it struck me that the boutique or independent consultancy needs a dedicated forum. These niche firms bring a particular point of view to doing business with China and offer specialist insights which can be invaluable to firms and organizations who want to get their business with China on the right track. CAN offers the platform to source a whole variety of Chinese expertise in one place – a valuable tool for any company looking for information and knowledge on China.”
