Savills aims to double business volume in China

SHANGHAI - China's increasing spending power and its unprecedented urbanization campaign are providing great opportunities for property services companies at home and abroad.

UK-based Savills is shifting its focus in China by offering more professional property services to its clients to participate in the housing boom of the world's second-largest economy.

"The attraction for Savills here is that opportunities are great. We have a very strong team in China and there is room to grow. This is a less mature market than London," said Jeremy Helsby, group chief executive of Savills plc, in an exclusive interview with China Daily.
