Today, Derek and I have a little toast at home to celebrate the achievement of our dental practice for receiving a SME Award from DHL SCMP Business Annual Award. Three years of continuous refinement and unfaltering belief that if we always put our patient first, all the good things shall follow.
I would like to share, Derek’s speech during the online award ceremony.
” On behalf of @centralsmilehk , we are truly honoured and grateful to the “HK Business Awards”, South China Morning Post and DHL for awarding us the SME Award for 2020. Thank you.
Central Smile was founded just over three years ago. I never could have imagined the opportunities and challenges we have faced over this short period.
Although the name Small and Medium Size Enterprises gives a notion of a “petite” industry. But in fact, SME’s account for almost 50% of total employment in HK. So collectively we are by no means “small”.
There have been obvious challenges for SME’s and government initiatives such as the “Employment Support Scheme” and “SME Loan Guarantee Scheme” have been instrumental in keeping many businesses afloat. We hope such schemes will continue to support local businesses as we overcome this pandemic together.
I am optimistic about our future. As a society, we have faced many challenges before; The Asian Financial Crisis, SARS, social unrest and now COVID. Hong Kongers have always been entrepreneurial, spirited and hard working. Qualities fit for battle hardened society to flourish. There are many opportunities on the horizon and we look forward to expansion possibilities locally and further afield in the Greater Bay Area.
Personally I would like to also take this opportunity to share my gratitude and recognise the people that have been instrumental. Namely my wife @rosannewng, my parents Vivian and Richard Baram, the management team and all team members at Central Smile. Without your help, Central Smile would not be what it is today.
We don’t take this award for granted. It will spur us on. We hope to continue to develop into something we and our society can be proud of.”
