Paul Osborne said, “Fox Williams has worked closely with Start since its inception in the mid 1990s. It has been a privilege to act as a trusted advisor over the past 20 years, during which time the group has flourished.  Start JG was established as a new business in Hong Kong in 2009 and has developed very successfully in only seven years. Start will utilise certain of the sale proceeds to develop new business opportunities for the group.”
