Aquatic Foods appoints Po Ling Low as finance director

The Chinese marine foods and seafood processor and producer said Po Ling has over 18 years of experience in the corporate finance, audit and investor relations sectors across the UK and Asia.

As a chartered certified accountant, she held positions at PwC in Kuala Lumpur, BDO in Singapore and London and Goldenway Capital, a private equity and financial advisory firm in Beijing.

In 2008, Po Ling became chief financial officer West China Cement Limited, which had previously been listed on AIM before moving to a Hong Kong main board listing in 2010.

Chief executive Li Xianzhi said: “Po Ling brings significant financial and commercial experience as well as an understanding of Chinese markets having worked in China and South East Asia for most of her career.

“Her AIM experience at West China Cement Limited, now listed on HKEX main board with a market capitalisation of approximately £375m (HKD $3.80bn), will be strongly relevant for assisting Aquatic Foods to execute its growth strategy.”

At 1140 BST, Aquatic shares were up 59% to 19.03p.
