As Project Co-ordinator she will use her international expertise to further develop the initiative. She was formerly Development Co-ordinator for the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The ChinaVentures initiative will prove an ideal location for Jean to demonstrate her range of skills and multi-lingual talent in the International market place. She was born in Shanghai where she lived and worked until 1990. Her knowledge and existing contacts will help benefit participating Yorkshire companies. Jean, 36 years old lives in Huddersfield with her husband.

Commenting on her new appointment Jean said: " I love the role of helping British companies develop contacts in China, both countries have a lot to offer each other. I think ChinaVentures has achieved a great deal for Yorkshire companies. "Being Chinese, I can encourage links with the fast growing economy and develop contacts throughout China, along with areas included in our trade visits".
