Mandy Moves On!

Mandy joined Quay Asia back in October 2017 as a new comer to the world of consulting and project management.

Mandy quickly learned how we do business at Quay Asia. She contributed to our weekly round up of the Bangladesh print press. And helped me write the second trilogy in our on-going series of articles on the labour market.

Mandy learned how to deliver training programs as part of a Quay Asia team providing executive education to the managers of Olympic Industries. (One of these training session is picture above).
