Patrick Parsons Managing Director Peter Stienlet is quoted as saying : "This was a hugely productive trip, with several opportunities in the pipeline as a result. Next month we're very much looking forward to a visit from a delegation from the Hainan provincial government to inspect our heritage work, which could see us working to deliver heritage projects in China. We're also very keen to build on our successes with white water rafting courses across China in the near future."
