URA welcomes the appointment of Mr Quinn Y. K. Law as the Managing Director

The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) today welcomed the appointment of Quinn Y. K. Law as the Managing Director of the URA, which will take effect from 1 March 2008.

Mr Law has been the Executive Director (Commercial and Corporate) of the URA since November 2005, deputizing for the Managing Director of the URA in commercial operations, business strategy formulation and financial and human resources planning and management. Pending the results of the recruitment of a new Managing Director by the Government, he has been undertaking the duties of the administrative head of the URA for the last two months.

"As the new Managing Director leading the Authority, Mr. Law's vast experience and knowledge in urban renewal, as well as his expertise in corporate and financial management, strategic business planning, and commercial negotiations are invaluable for advancing the Authority's missions," said the URA Chairman, Mr Barry Cheung.

On his appointment as Managing Director, Mr. Law, a Certified Public Accountant by training, said he was very honoured by the appointment, and looked forward to continuing to serve the community in his new capacity.

"I look forward to working closely with the URA Board, the Management team and all staff, the Government, especially the Development Bureau, Legislative Council, District Councils, and all other stakeholders, in undertaking urban renewal for the benefit of our community.  Working in concert, I am confident that we can meet the challenges ahead," Mr Law said.
