Mr Anthony Chan is the Executive Vice President of PCD Store Group Limited (HK Listed Company 00331), a leading high end national department store chain in China and is responsible for overseeing strategic planning, business development, relationships with key tenants and general operations.

 

Starting with a base of four department stores in southeast China, Mr Chan helped oversee the growth of PCD Group into one of China’s largest high end department store companies with an industry leading store footprint in over 10 provinces. PCD enjoys some of the highest sales per square meter productivity and highest average tickets among department stores in the country today and currently boasts more than 300,000 active VIPs in its system. The company has established intimate partnerships with many of the leading global luxury brands in the world including Gucci, Armani, Burberry, Ermenegildo Zegna, Dunhill, Hugo Boss, Dior, Fendi, Chloe, MaxMara, Versace, Bally, Breguet, Blancpain, Chopard, Rolex, Omega, Bvlgari, Mont blanc, Vertu, TAG heuer, Christian Dior, Estee Lauder, Giorgio Armani, Guerlain, La Prairie, Chanel and Lancome.

 

In addition, under Mr Chan’s leadership, PCD was one of the early pioneers in the premium outlet mall industry in China. The group’s first outlet mall project was opened in 2009 in the suburbs of Beijing and has received critical acclaim (including being nominated as “Asia’s Best Outlet Mall” by thestreet.com in 2010) and large consumer acceptance since opening. Since 2009, the group has since opened or is in the process of opening an additional four outlet centers in Shenyang, Qingdao, Hangzhou and Xiamen.

Mr Chan sits on the board of directors and investment committee of the Grosvenor Vega China Retail Fund.

 

Mr Chan is active in a number of philanthropic endeavours including acting as the Vice Secretary General of the QSL China Youth Federation Sports foundation, whose aim is to promote the development of athletics in underprivileged rural area schools, as well as sitting on the Organizing Committee of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts annual Academy Ball.
