How WIG benefits…Hutchison Whampoa
Hutchison Whampoa, a leading international corporation committed to innovation and technology*, joined WIG in 2006.
William Pedder, Director Corporate Affairs, comments:
“WIG provides me with regular interface on how Government conducts its business. Hearing from a Permanent Secretary how he has to juggle his priorities reveals so much more than his Departmental website ever could.
And WIG helps me to monitor issues that I'm not familiar with - it was a WIG seminar which launched me into essential consultation on the Carbon Reduction Commitment."
*In the UK Hutchison Whampoa brands include Superdrug, The Perfume Shop and '3' (the mobile phone network). >

Simon Judge, Finance Director, DCMS, commented recently about his involvement with WIG :
"I am a particular fan of regular breakfast seminars. I've made lots of useful connections over coffee, and learnt quite a bit about a wide range of subject areas through a 30 minute talk, and then an invariably lively and open Q&A session.
“Where else could you learn in just over a month about the political situation in Brazil, different approaches to regulation, how to tackle the deficit, and the debates to be held as part of the 2010 General Election campaign?
“I also found my WIG leadership programme very stimulating: over ten years later our action learning set still meets for dinner every couple of years."
