KUALA LUMPUR: Ho Hup Construction Company Bhd, a main board-listed property developer and construction company, has appointed Magna Prima Bhd’s former chief executive officer Lim Ching Choy as its new group managing director.

In a statement yesterday, Ho Hup said Lim was revered for his forward thinking approaches to turning companies into not just profit-making organisations but also international award-winning companies. It said Lim joined the group with highly reputable experience in the banking line, property development and construction industry.

“In the past I have spearheaded bold changes within an organisation which have led to greater profits, returns and branding for a company,” said Lim, who on May 14, 2009 resigned as Magna Prima CEO, a position he had held since Nov 1, 2006.

“Of course I am always motivated by challenge, the bigger the challenge the more passionate I am in achieving the intended end-result. My goal at Ho Hup is to take on this new challenge and turn around a company of 50 years old, which is older than me.”

From 1996 to June 2002, Lim was the CEO of Alliance Finance Bhd, formerly Bolton Finance Bhd. He was also the executive director and CEO of another property developer, Mah Sing Group Bhd, from July 2002 to October 2006.
