2 One of the best things about working for Swire is its culture. With humility as one of the Group s core values, you can be assured that whichever company or department you are posted to your teammates will always be very willing to share their advice and experience as long as you are keen to learn. Working with teams of experienced professionals quickly washed away my anxiety, and with their guidance and support, I had been put on a steep learning curve on topics relevant to my project.

3 Swire values individual career development. During my internship in Shanghai, everyone understood I would only be there for a very short period of time, but they trusted me and I was given responsibility very quickly. I still remember the business trip with my team to Ningbo, which was my very first business trip. I was given the task to set up the schedule, arrange transportation and hotel accommodation, and prepare background briefings, I really felt I had been given ownership of the project.

4 My journey in Swire began three and a half years ago as a summer intern in Swire Properties. At that time, I did not realise that this internship would bring me into this great family along with a group of bright, talented people. I started my internship programme with a two-day orientation in Hong Kong, followed by seven-week on-the-job training in the Office Leasing team of Taikoo Hui, Guangzhou. The orientation introduced almost every division of Swire, giving me a big picture of a dynamic company with a wide range of career opportunities for years to come. My name is Kira Li.
