With disarming candour Uhi Hui says: 'Like many Hong Kong people, I have a can-do attitude.' The judges of this year's AmCham Women of Influence Awards have not only recognised this, but have been mightily impressed by how Ms Hui has adapted her determined personality to her professional life. They also considered how she has managed to balance her family's needs - the youngest Hui is only six-months old - with the objectives of a public relations company and her own career.

Asked what the Young Achiever of the Year Award meant to her, Ms Hui said: 'Recognition for my team, and my work and what I believe in.' Her mentioning the team first revealed the outlook of a remarkable and eminently team-orientated young woman, who was brought up in Hung Hom and now heads offices on the mainland's three premier cities of commerce and business.

Her role as the PR People Consultancy executive director for Greater China entails enormous responsibility for the business and staff development in three offices - Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing.

The company, established in 2002, is a 'boutique PR agency' which, as Ms Hui explained, 'offers services to companies in reputation and brand management, corporate communication, crisis management and media training in the Greater China region'.

Not only has she been with the company from day one, she also helped set up the company and put it on track.

She added: 'There are only a few boutique-size PR consultancies that have wholly owned operations in all three cities; you either find big international agencies or smaller local players.
