    RIP Taipan Keswick

    Recognized as one of the most influential British business leaders of his time, Sir Henry was a visionary who played a pivotal role in Jardine Matheson's transformative growth across Asia for over 50 years.

    He was first appointed chairman in 1972, a position he held until his retirement in 2018.

    During his tenure, Jardine Matheson saw its net assets soar to US$26 billion (HK$202.8 billion) from US$70 million.

    Is the term "Taipan" still in common use?
