Huawei welcomes royal visitor
16 May 2007
Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, visited Huawei's offices in Basingstoke earlier this week.
William Xu, president of Huawei Europe and Edward Chen, managing director of the vendor, were both on hand to welcome the Duke.
The prince visited the offices as the UK's special representative for international trade and showed the "down-to-earth [and] jovial side of his personality", according to the Basingstoke Gazette.
It reported that the visit came about following a previous meeting with Huawei at the 3GSM World Congress 2007, earlier this year in Barcelona.
Huawei's European headquarters opened in Basingstoke in 2006 and has about 300 employees, most whom are based in sites at the Viables and Faraday Office Park.
Huawei procures 65 per cent of its contract sales from the international market and has 100 branch offices in addition to its 12 research and development centres.
The vendor has headquarters across the globe, including ones in Silicon Valley, Dallas, Stockholm and Bangalore.
