AmCham holds construction industry networking night

The first American Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia (AmCham) Construction Night of 2021 was held at Rukkha Sky Bar and Tapas last Wednesday. Figures from leading companies in the Kingdom’s construction industry were joined by business people from numerous sectors at the networking event. The soiree bookended the morning event releasing CBRE Cambodia’s “Fearless Forecast 2021: Recession or Resurgence” report, which can be found on the leading real estate agents’ website. The CBRE report gives an in-depth look into the Cambodian real estate sector, dissecting extensive data to project the possibility of recession or resurgence for the year ahead in each segment.

The Lighthouse Club Cambodia’s 6th Annual Charity Golf Day was held at Royal Cambodia Phnom Penh Golf Club on February 13. With some 60 players, this year proved to be their largest event. The Lighthouse Club is a worldwide construction industry charitable organisation started in the UK over 60 years ago, with the Phnom Penh branch established in 2010. The club aims to support less well-off young Cambodians through education, help injured construction workers and promote good fellowship and cooperation among its members, said Lighthouse co-chairman Kerr Thomson. “This year was our largest golf event, with more than 60 players and a record amount raised through sponsors and players. The money raised will be able to support 10 students through a year of construction-related education, covering tuition and living costs. The club would like to thank the players and the many sponsors of the event for making it such a success,” Thomson said.
