"The need for clear, transparent and trustworthy relationships is a must for ensuring a strong and healthy business when dealing with not only China and the Asia Pacific but with anyone and in any region. We all have the same goals to go beyond our targets, increase productivity and improve our lives, and we hope that ETP can help businesses and individuals alike make better connections with Asia and China. We hope to help build strong bonds to ensure a healthy and productive future.

In these uncertain financial times it is nice to know that there are companies like Enter The Panda around to partner, help and support individuals and businesses, both small and large make further connections with the world."

"From the moment I first visited Beijing 6 years ago, it was clear to me that trade with China would rapidly prove to be an integral and essential part of maintaining growth in Ireland and the UK. It led me to soon after take up residence in Beijing and found, grow and develop Enter the Panda Ltd.

As a designer by trade, I take great pleasure in working with talented clients and colleagues from around the world, designing and sourcing bespoke products and ingenuities. And it is with even greater pride that we here at ETP guide these goods out of Asia to the markets of the West.

Particularly in this time of economic strife, we see the clear need for cost-effective, quality-assured services. China, the great manufacturer of the world, is the biggest, best and only choice when it comes to providing both small and large scale production and delivery.

The Panda has awoken - it is an exciting time that I consider myself lucky to a part of."


Oisín BourkeTechnical Supervisor

Oisín was born and raised in Ireland, and has earned a wealth of experience in the IT industry. He has worked as network administrator for such companies as Jury's Hotels and BMW, and has spent all-told over 7 years in China.

Oisín is responsible for much of our on-site technical supervision. He also works closely with Shane and David on Research & Development projects that require a large amount of technical research or hardware expertise.

   

"I had the opportunity to collaborate with members of the Enter the Panda team many years ago in Ireland and was eager to work with them again. Together we continue to work on exciting new technologies and products, raise the bar in terms of speed of delivery and value for money and most importantly provide quality service at all times. It has been my pleasure to work with them over the past two years and the future is bright."


Katie LiTrade Supervisor

Katie hails from Guizhou Provence and now works in Beijing at Enter the Panda HQ. Having started with us an office administrator, Katie immediately showed ability far beyond that moniker, and now manages a large amount of the translation and negotiation between ETP and our many suppliers. She also deals directly with a volume of our long-term local clients, ensuring they always receive the highest standard of service.

She has already shown incredible talent in this field and the dedication she brings to the job ensures that every request is detailed and understood clearly by supplier and customer alike.

   

"Enter the Panda can really help your business find ways of saving you money by helping with the troublesome task of finding alternative manufacturing sources for your products. The more exciting aspect of it for me is the research and development service as it allows me to learn more about customers’ needs and I enjoy helping develop new products and providing high quality, cheaper alternatives."
