KL is on the move. We’re completing the purchase today of our own office. It’s in a modern purpose-built building within 3 minute walk from the Norbiton Station and many bus routes in and out of Kingston. With space over three storeys and some 30% more room, we’re ready for expansion in 2017.

The annual CBBC Chairman’s visit to China ended on Friday night with a big party. Lord Sassoon was joined by three hundred people to celebrate the 20th anniversary of CBBC’s Chengdu office. A panel of guests talked about the monumental change that had taken place in Chengdu, and also the role of the CBBC over the past two decades. Earlier in the visit, the CBBC delegation met senior central government officials in Beijing and the Party Secretary of Shanghai, Han Zhen. We were proud to have sponsored the interpreting service for the annual mission for the third year running. Kevin was pleased to be told by interpreters on the Chinese side, throughout the visit, that they had all read his book on interpreting.
