**DFNI eXTRA NEWS FLASH** Nick Hillyard's consultancy role with King Power has ended after three months

The former managing director of Allders Australia has become commercial manager of Stuart Alexander in Sydney, which represents international names such as Henry Winterman and several confectionery brands including Guylian and Hershey in the domestic market. His King Power stint was always intended as a three-month assignment, he said, adding that both parties were happy. ''Fundamentally my desire was to return home to Australia,'' he explained.

''I was initially contracted for a three month period which has been successfully completed. Then I got this attractive job offer.''

It had been an ''incredibly valuable experience'' working with King Power, added Hillyard. ''Antares Cheng is a person I have always admired in the industry. His vision for developing the business in China is extremely exciting.''  

Sunil Tuli, former coo Weitnauer Asia Pacific and Far East, joined King Power as a consultant at the same time as  Hillyard. He said he was still working as a consultant to King Power. ''I still have a contract to consult, it's just that I will be spending more time in Singapore where my own business and family are,'' explained Tuli. For the last three months he had been dividing his time between Singapore and King Power's Hong Kong base.
