Banking on the future

Standard Chartered Bank celebrated the opening of its new office building in the twin-tower complex in Millennium City, Kwun Tong, with a cocktail reception attended by a host of banking and other business guests.

Bank chairman Sir Patrick Gillam officiated over the opening of Standard Chartered Tower and switched on a millennium clock counting down the seconds until the year 2000.

The bank occupies 90 per cent of the tower. Its other main office is in Central.
