For the centre's deputy general manager, who oversees staff and departmental budgets, the job is like that of a big city mayor or state governor.

A 10-year veteran of his duties, Alfred Lo also ensures the centre presents visitors with an unforgettable image.

At the same time, he makes every effort to ensure the centre records a profit.

'This is the only exhibition space in Hong Kong.' he said.

'We must make sure the shows are memorable and cost-efficient.' Mr Lo's responsibilities include acting as chief financial officer for the centre's eight departments - food and beverage, building operations, housekeeping, security, human resources, finance, event planning and services - and marketing and sales.

He also oversees the payroll for the centre's 1,100 employees.
