The new office in China will be headed by Daisy Liu, who has worked with Great Southern Press (GSP) since 2009.

Ms Liu’s knowledge of Chinese markets will help GSP provide customised marketing solutions to promote clean energy companies from around the world.

“Assisting the clean energy industry market their products and services to China, and assisting Chinese companies promote themselves to the rest of the world – it’s a really exciting proposition,” said Ms Liu.

“Bringing together GSP's industry knowledge with my local knowledge – this is what gives us the edge over other agencies and other marketing and development companies.”

Ms Liu will also help the EcoGeneration team bring more extensive coverage from the Chinese clean energy industry.

China is a hub for national and international manufacturing companies, and are leaders in the manufacturing of clean energy products such as solar panels.

Ms Liu will leverage her networks within China and provide on-the-ground advice.

The new Qingdao office complements GSP's offices in Houston, London, Toronto and Melbourne.
