How We Work

Every order runs the same institutionalised process, from enquiry to delivered documents — the process the company treats as a cost saver rather than an overhead.

The process

Four Steps, Every Order

From the first enquiry to a clean set of documents at the receiving bank.

01

Enquiry and vendor selection

Specifications matched against approved mills and factories, with two or more quotations on every line.

02

Contract and terms

Price, incoterms and payment agreed against confirmed demand.

03

Inspection before shipment

Quantity, grade and packing checked at the works, with third-party inspection where the buyer asks.

04

Documents and delivery

Clean documentation and every consignment tracked to delivery by the local office.

Sourcing and Vendor Selection

A line is quoted from mills and factories already on the approved list, and never from a single source — two or more quotations sit behind every price that goes to a buyer.

The industrial half of the book is sourced mainly out of China; the consumer half moves in volume, with textiles out of India and China and electronics out of South China.

Quality and Pre-Shipment Inspection

Quantity, grade and packing are verified at the works before a container is sealed. Where a buyer wants an independent eye, a third-party surveyor is appointed and their report travels with the documents.

Quality is treated as a cost saver, not an overhead: a grade agreed in writing and checked before shipment is cheaper than a claim after arrival.

Contracts, Documents and Delivery

Container lots and charter parcels are booked against the agreed incoterm, and mixed lines are consolidated under one bill of lading where that suits the buyer.

Documentation is prepared to the letter of credit or collection terms and presented clean at the receiving bank. The local group office tracks the shipment to delivery.

Trade Finance and Payment Terms

Price, incoterms and payment are agreed against confirmed demand before a booking is made — letters of credit, documents against payment, or advance.

Hong Kong holds the group’s banking centre, so a counterparty can deal locally while the instrument sits with a Hong Kong bank.

Private Label and OEM Supply

Several lines — handicraft and homeware, workwear, packaging consumables among them — are supplied private label, produced to a buyer’s own specification, brand and packing.
