Client Relations: Senior Government Delegation Overseas Tours

As part of a nationwide infrastructure anti-smuggling project, and with the support of our principal, we accompanied the Head of State of a large Asian nation to the World Economic Forum in Singapore and Davos and hosted events to promote Foreign Direct Investment to the country. We attended Asian Development Bank meetings bringing together representatives from global investors and relevant ministries.

Business Representation and Strategic Advice: Coins for an Asian Central Bank

Perceval are Asia-Pacific representatives for one of the world’s largest and most respected mints.

We were able to support our client as a pre-qualified supplier and enhance their logistical operations on the ground with the oversight of our trusted and experienced local partner.

  • At project inception, we provided technical advice and recommendations on the design and launch of the new coins. We oversaw the pre-qualification of the client for the procurement process held under tender, and subsequently participated in pre-tender technical meetings to support the scope for a prospective procurement exercise.
  • Workshops and technical meetings to support on-going technical issues were coordinated by Perceval, allowing us to assist in implementing project delivery, including sample analysis and follow-through.

Consulting: Establishment of a New Business Unit

A client wanted to take an innovative approach and expand its range of services to mitigate revenue risks for a single-product producer in the currency business.
