GDS Global Limited Annual Report 2015
We believe that a better prepared employee is
also a more productive employee, and to this end,
we will continue to upgrade the qualifications,
knowledge and skills of our employees.
Previously, we had identified Hong Kong, Macau,
Vietnam and Myanmar as potential growth
markets and began promoting our products and
services there. This in fact resulted in substantial
revenue for our Group from Macau in FY2015.
Going forward, we plan to step up our marketing
efforts in these countries.
Notwithstanding the continued uncertain
economic climate, we remain cautiously optimistic
that the outlook for the door and shutter solutions
industry in Singapore will remain positive for the
next financial year. Our confidence stems from
the healthy book orders we have on hand as at 30
September 2015 as well as the expected launch
of some new products. Moreover, we continue to
be on the lookout for new projects to maintain or
expand our order book.
Appreciation
As I mentioned at the start, it was a tough year, but
we managed to do quite well in spite of the difficult
environment. For this, we have many to thank.
We offer our heartfelt appreciation to our business
partners and customers for their unstinting
support and for being a part of our growth story.
We also want to thank our shareholders for
believing in the future of this Company by
investing in us. We have done our utmost to
deliver on our promises and we will continue to
aim for greater heights in order to add more value
for you.
Last but definitely not least, we want to thank our
staff, management and Board who have worked
tirelessly to enable the Group to fulfil its long
term goals and plans.
We are reasonably optimistic about the new
financial year ahead. There will undoubtedly
be challenges along the way but we are quite
prepared for them. We look forward to keeping
you informed of more corporate developments
and achievements as they unfold.
Yours sincerely,
MICHAEL WONG
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
