She first joined the company three and a half years ago as marketing manager. Lau positions herself as a marketing expert in the F&B industry with experiences in restaurants and bars. In her current role, she now has experience in corporate catering services, and says on her LinkedIn that she is thrilled to be part of the journey together with other partners "to drive for a more sustainable future."

She added that her goal is to bring innovative ideas and delicious dishes to customers and pursue the success of "eating for a sustainable future". She also believes in the importance of branding.

Established in 1994, Compass Group Hong Kong is a subsidiary of Compass Group and has since then been putting a significant footprint in the education, business and industry, and healthcare segments under the brand names of CHARTWELLS, EUREST, and MEDIREST respectively. In June 2011, Compass Group Hong Kong acquired Shing Hin Catering Group, where it’s an active player in institutional catering that specialises in Chinese and Western cuisines and other regional and continental relishes.

According to the company's website, Compass Group Hong Kong operates in more than 70 client locations, such as offices of market leaders and also large-scale international schools and universities with over 1,100 employees in Hong Kong.
