Mannings Introduces City-Wide Immersive Wellness Pop-Up “Mannings BoostUP – Your Wellness & Beauty Fiesta” Debuts This April in West Kowloon Cultural District
Reimagining Wellness and Inspiring a New State of Everyday Wellbeing
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 March 2026 – In a fast‑paced city where pressure and information overload are part of daily life, the definition of health has expanded beyond the absence of illness. For many Hongkongers, health now encompasses sleep quality, emotional balance, appearance confidence, and a sense of connection with others – for a more holistic, lifestyle‑driven state of wellbeing. It is highly individual, yet strengthened through community support.
This April, Mannings is teaming up with Charlz Ng, a Hong Kong–based wellness advocate, brand strategist, and community builder, to bring Wellness from concept to everyday practice through the Mannings BoostUP Fiesta. The wellness & beauty discovery playground pop up will take place on 25–26 April at the West Kowloon Cultural District. Designed as a “Wellness Buffet”, Mannings BoostUP blends interactive experiences, mind‑body sessions, community‑driven activities, and a range of complimentary health assessments from the Mannings Professional Health Team. The goal is simple but transformative: to inspire everyone to move beyond reactive health habits and discover their own version of a good state at their own pace, in their own way.
Mannings Redefines Wellness Elevating Everyday Wellbeing
As Hong Kong’s leading Health & Beauty retailer with deep roots in the city for over 50 years, Mannings has accompanied generations of customers with authentic products, trusted advice and caring service. In recent years, the Mannings brand has evolved into The Trusted Advisor for Wellness, reflecting a growing public desire for more complete and balanced approach to wellbeing – not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and in everyday confidence. For younger generations in particular, they are looking for wellness that feels fun, relatable and part of real life.
That’s why Mannings is stepping outside the store and into the community, creating fresh, lively and varied wellness experiences that are easy to join and enjoyable for all. Through Mannings BoostUP, we are bringing together local wellness experts, movement leaders, and diverse communities to reimagine what Wellness can look and feel like, turning it into a “Wellness Buffet” where everyone can explore and try something new, elevating their holistic wellbeing. From young people to families to anyone curious about feeling better, Mannings BoostUp aims to spark a more vibrant, connected wellness culture across the city.
Alex Liu, Managing Director of Mannings Hong Kong, Macau and China, said: “Today’s customers see health as much more than ‘pills when you’re ill’. They aspire to build a richer, more vibrant life for themselves, nurturing their physical, emotional, appearance and social wellbeing every day. As Hong Kong’s Trusted Advisor for Wellness, Mannings is committed to supporting our customers on this journey – through professional expertise, technology and community networks. Mannings BoostUP marks an important milestone in how we re-imagine wellness and embodies our commitment to grow together with the city.”
Doreen Cheng, Marketing Director for DFI Retail Group Health & Beauty, North Asia, and H&B Own Brand Power Brand added: “Our customers are increasingly embracing wellness as a holistic, lifestyle‑driven pursuit. Mannings BoostUP is an experiential platform where wellness becomes immersive, uplifting and part of everyday life. Through these experiences, we invite customers to reconnect meaningfully with their complete selves, so that everyone can explore their own version of ‘being in good state’, at their own pace.”
Charlz Ng, Hong Kong–based wellness advocate, brand strategist, community builder and Founder of 120 Collective shared: “At Mannings BoostUP, you don’t need to be an athlete or gym enthusiast. We aren’t chasing records or keeping score, we’re here to help people understand themselves a little better. That’s why partnering with Mannings felt natural to us. We share the belief that wellness should be part of daily life, and that everyone should be able to engage with it in their own way. It’s about the courage to try something new, the joy of discovery, and the magic that happens when we move together.”

Comprehensive Support for International Students to Bolster Hong Kong’s Talent Attraction and Retention
ManpowerGroup Greater China and Beacon Group Partner with FGA Trust and Payment Asia to Launch “Talent in HK” Program
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – ManpowerGroup Greater China Limited (Stock Code: 2180.HK), a leading global workforce solutions provider, and Beacon Group (parent company BExcellent Group Holdings Limited, listed on the Main Board of the HKEX, Stock Code: 1775.HK), a renowned Hong Kong educational institution, today announced the joint launch of the “Talent in HK” Youth and Family Life Service Security Program.
This forward-looking initiative is supported by Payment Asia, a leading payment platform in Hong Kong, providing streamlined payment channels. FGA Trust will serve as the third-party custodian. The program aims to establish an institutionalized, transparent, and collaborative ecosystem, providing end-to-end protection from education and academic support to life services and career consultancy, while injecting long-term momentum into Hong Kong’s strategy to attract and retain international talent.
As Hong Kong continues to attract top-tier students globally, many non-local students face challenges adapting to a new cultural environment upon arrival. Recently, there has been a rising trend in crimes targeting this demographic, including scams involving impersonation of government or academic institutions, as well as telecommunications and online fraud. These incidents pose substantial threats to talents’ personal and financial security, causing significant concern for their families.
In response to these social concerns and to reinforce the comprehensive security net for international students, ManpowerGroup, Beacon Group, and FGA Trust have initiated this program to provide stable, orderly support and ensure the long-term residency of talent in Hong Kong.
Holistic Talent Services: Strengthening Hong Kong’s Foundation as an International Hub
The “Talent in HK” program offers comprehensive life services for students and their families. Beacon Group will provide a long-term study plan spanning three to five years, including customized education, admissions services, profile enhancement, and application support. Simultaneously, ManpowerGroup will facilitate internships, visa arrangements, and long-term career development services.
Once a student receives an admission offer, parents can inject tuition and living expenses through Payment Asia’s official channels into a dedicated project account monitored by FGA Trust. This ensures financial security and the precise disbursement of funds. The entire process will be followed by an audit report, ensuring a smooth transition from campus to the workplace. The program’s website is expected to go live around mid-April this year, with official applications opening in May.
In an era of intensifying global competition for higher education and talent, Hong Kong remains a pivotal international financial and educational hub. Non-local students are not only a vital component of the education system but also a driving force for cross-cultural exchange and future professional talent. They are estimated to contribute over HK$10 billion in tuition fees annually, serving as a significant pillar of the local economy.
Multi-Party Collaboration: A New Paradigm for Talent Services
The core strength of the program lies in its innovative collaborative model, bringing together industry leaders:
- ManpowerGroup Greater China (2180.HK): As the exclusive career development partner of the project, ManpowerGroup will leverage its extensive network and expertise to provide career planning, internship matching, and employment guidance, bridging the gap between graduation and professional life, and help students to have a smooth transition from academies to careers.
- Beacon Group (parent company BExcellent Group Holdings Limited 1775.HK): As one of the initiators of the project with 37 years of experience in the education sector, Beacon Group will provide personalized academic consulting and profile enhancement, provide better guidance and adaptation for candidates to pursuit their study in Hong Kong. Its deep roots in the education sector help families navigate educational choices and avoid scams or unnecessary hurdles.
- FGA Trust (TCSP license: TC008341): As the structural architect and asset trustee, FGA Trust will establish a specialized trust framework with individual sub-accounts for each student. This ensures funds for tuition, housing, and living expenses are managed with clear traceability, mitigating risks of fraud or improper spending.
- Payment Asia: As the primary channel partner, Payment Asia provides secure and compliant collection channels, ensuring the seamless transfer of funds into the program’s dedicated accounts.
Long-Term Vision: Supporting Urban Competitiveness
Studying abroad is the starting point for talent development in Hong Kong. Proactive financial arrangements reduce uncertainty during status transitions and life settlement, increasing the willingness of talent to remain in the city long-term. Data suggests that initiatives like the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS) continue to drive local consumption, with rents for small-to-medium residential units expected to rise by 5% this year.
Ms. Lancy Chui, Senior Vice President of ManpowerGroup Greater China, stated: “We understand the strong desire of non-local graduates to work in Hong Kong. By providing proactive career planning and internship arrangements, we can reduce uncertainty during their transition into the local workforce, helping them settle and contribute to Hong Kong’s market.”
Ms. June Leung, Founder of Beacon Group, noted: “Talent cultivation requires long-term education. We are delighted to initiate this program, integrating academic support with life security and career development to provide a comprehensive, forward-looking environment for talent growth.”
Ms. Helen Chen, Chief Strategy Officer of FGA Trust, added: “Protecting the financial security and well-being of international students is both a social responsibility and a key to consolidating Hong Kong’s status as an international education hub. This program ensures a seamless transition from study to employment, transforming international talent into a long-term driver for Hong Kong’s development.”
The launch of “Talent in HK” marks a significant step from fragmented support to a comprehensive ecosystem. Through institutional innovation and cross-sector collaboration, the program aims to provide a safe harbor for international students and their families, contributing to Hong Kong’s goal of becoming a global talent hub.

These subsidies are applied directly to the course fees, allowing learners to pay the nett amount after government funding has been deducted. This significantly lowers the overall cost of professional training.
Additional support is available for mid-career Singaporeans. Under the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy (MCES), Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above may receive subsidies of up to 90 per cent of course fees for approved courses offered by recognised training providers and Continuing Education and Training centres. For illustration, a professional development course priced at S$3,000 before GST may cost approximately S$900 after a subsidy of up to 70 per cent is applied. Eligible Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above who qualify for the MCES could pay about S$300 for the same course after government funding.
Learners may further offset remaining fees through SkillsFuture Credit, which is available to Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above and can be used for eligible courses listed on the MySkillsFuture portal. Employer-sponsored training programmes may also benefit from workforce development schemes that further reduce training costs.
Institutions such as SIM Academy provide professional development programmes that support working professionals in upgrading their capabilities. SIM Academy offers a range of short courses aligned with industry needs, including programmes in leadership, AI, sustainability, project management, organisation design and soft skills. Several of these programmes are eligible for SkillsFuture funding and SkillsFuture Credit.
SkillsFuture funding schemes continue to support Singapore’s workforce transformation by making training more accessible. With government support and industry-aligned programmes offered by training providers such as SIM Academy, working professionals have greater opportunities to strengthen their capabilities and adapt to evolving job demands.

Comprehensive Support for International Students to Bolster Hong Kong’s Talent Attraction and Retention
ManpowerGroup Greater China and Beacon Group Partner with FGA Trust and Payment Asia to Launch “Talent in HK” Program
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – ManpowerGroup Greater China Limited (Stock Code: 2180.HK), a leading global workforce solutions provider, and Beacon Group (parent company BExcellent Group Holdings Limited, listed on the Main Board of the HKEX, Stock Code: 1775.HK), a renowned Hong Kong educational institution, today announced the joint launch of the “Talent in HK” Youth and Family Life Service Security Program.
This forward-looking initiative is supported by Payment Asia, a leading payment platform in Hong Kong, providing streamlined payment channels. FGA Trust will serve as the third-party custodian. The program aims to establish an institutionalized, transparent, and collaborative ecosystem, providing end-to-end protection from education and academic support to life services and career consultancy, while injecting long-term momentum into Hong Kong’s strategy to attract and retain international talent.
As Hong Kong continues to attract top-tier students globally, many non-local students face challenges adapting to a new cultural environment upon arrival. Recently, there has been a rising trend in crimes targeting this demographic, including scams involving impersonation of government or academic institutions, as well as telecommunications and online fraud. These incidents pose substantial threats to talents’ personal and financial security, causing significant concern for their families.
In response to these social concerns and to reinforce the comprehensive security net for international students, ManpowerGroup, Beacon Group, and FGA Trust have initiated this program to provide stable, orderly support and ensure the long-term residency of talent in Hong Kong.
Holistic Talent Services: Strengthening Hong Kong’s Foundation as an International Hub
The “Talent in HK” program offers comprehensive life services for students and their families. Beacon Group will provide a long-term study plan spanning three to five years, including customized education, admissions services, profile enhancement, and application support. Simultaneously, ManpowerGroup will facilitate internships, visa arrangements, and long-term career development services.
Once a student receives an admission offer, parents can inject tuition and living expenses through Payment Asia’s official channels into a dedicated project account monitored by FGA Trust. This ensures financial security and the precise disbursement of funds. The entire process will be followed by an audit report, ensuring a smooth transition from campus to the workplace. The program’s website is expected to go live around mid-April this year, with official applications opening in May.
In an era of intensifying global competition for higher education and talent, Hong Kong remains a pivotal international financial and educational hub. Non-local students are not only a vital component of the education system but also a driving force for cross-cultural exchange and future professional talent. They are estimated to contribute over HK$10 billion in tuition fees annually, serving as a significant pillar of the local economy.
Multi-Party Collaboration: A New Paradigm for Talent Services
The core strength of the program lies in its innovative collaborative model, bringing together industry leaders:
- ManpowerGroup Greater China (2180.HK): As the exclusive career development partner of the project, ManpowerGroup will leverage its extensive network and expertise to provide career planning, internship matching, and employment guidance, bridging the gap between graduation and professional life, and help students to have a smooth transition from academies to careers.
- Beacon Group (parent company BExcellent Group Holdings Limited 1775.HK): As one of the initiators of the project with 37 years of experience in the education sector, Beacon Group will provide personalized academic consulting and profile enhancement, provide better guidance and adaptation for candidates to pursuit their study in Hong Kong. Its deep roots in the education sector help families navigate educational choices and avoid scams or unnecessary hurdles.
- FGA Trust (TCSP license: TC008341): As the structural architect and asset trustee, FGA Trust will establish a specialized trust framework with individual sub-accounts for each student. This ensures funds for tuition, housing, and living expenses are managed with clear traceability, mitigating risks of fraud or improper spending.
- Payment Asia: As the primary channel partner, Payment Asia provides secure and compliant collection channels, ensuring the seamless transfer of funds into the program’s dedicated accounts.
Long-Term Vision: Supporting Urban Competitiveness
Studying abroad is the starting point for talent development in Hong Kong. Proactive financial arrangements reduce uncertainty during status transitions and life settlement, increasing the willingness of talent to remain in the city long-term. Data suggests that initiatives like the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS) continue to drive local consumption, with rents for small-to-medium residential units expected to rise by 5% this year.
Ms. Lancy Chui, Senior Vice President of ManpowerGroup Greater China, stated: “We understand the strong desire of non-local graduates to work in Hong Kong. By providing proactive career planning and internship arrangements, we can reduce uncertainty during their transition into the local workforce, helping them settle and contribute to Hong Kong’s market.”
Ms. June Leung, Founder of Beacon Group, noted: “Talent cultivation requires long-term education. We are delighted to initiate this program, integrating academic support with life security and career development to provide a comprehensive, forward-looking environment for talent growth.”
Ms. Helen Chen, Chief Strategy Officer of FGA Trust, added: “Protecting the financial security and well-being of international students is both a social responsibility and a key to consolidating Hong Kong’s status as an international education hub. This program ensures a seamless transition from study to employment, transforming international talent into a long-term driver for Hong Kong’s development.”
The launch of “Talent in HK” marks a significant step from fragmented support to a comprehensive ecosystem. Through institutional innovation and cross-sector collaboration, the program aims to provide a safe harbor for international students and their families, contributing to Hong Kong’s goal of becoming a global talent hub.
