Inside Asian Gaming

IAG OCT 2021年10月 亞博匯 58 2021 POWER 50 IAG: Bobadilla Group Macau was recently named Title Sponsor of the 2021 Asian Gaming Power 50 Black Tie Gala Dinner Official After Party at Wynn Palace. What attracted you to the Power 50? LC: Honestly when I first saw your advertisement, I told myself “Yeah I’ll sponsor”. Then I got worried that Bobadilla Group Macau would not qualify as it has nothing to do with gaming but I thought I’d give it a try anyway. The whole event was put together to be very lively and it got me excited for a party like this. We have been stuck here in Macau and there’s been no live entertainment and no other place to go. I was starving for a party and can’t wait to dress up! IAG: The Power 50 Gala Dinner has been growing bigger and better every year, and now the inclusion of an Official After Party is part of that. What are you most looking forward to at the After Party? LC: It’s going to be at the Wynn Palace pool, yes? Can we swim? I’m looking forward to kicking on into the next party and getting to know more people in the industry. I’m also interested to see who will be the first person in the pool! IAG: We’re honoured to have BGM on board this year. Can you tell us a bit about the history of the company? LC: Initially Bobadilla started with Macau local labour and plant hire, including heavy and light machinery for the construction industry. After working with so many companies from Macau and Europe, I decided to expand the company to include specialised niche services which Macau seems to lack, and that is Theatrical Automation installations and ongoing operation. I had a chance to hire Chuck Freyer as BGM’s Automation Manager and this gives me more confidence in keeping the company in maintenance 亞博匯（IAG）: 澳門霍氏建築工程及劇院自動化有限公司最近成 為於永利皇宮舉行的第14屆「亞博匯50強」正裝晚宴官方餘興派 對的冠名贊助商。「亞博匯50強」有甚麼吸引到你的地方？ 霍愛美（LC）： 老實說，當我第一次看到你們的廣告時，我就 跟自己說「我要成為贊助商」。然後我擔心澳門霍氏建築工程並 不符合贊助商的資格，因為我們與博彩業亳不相關，但無論如何 我都想嘗試一下。整個活動的安排規劃都十分熱鬧，我對這樣的 派對感到十分興奮。我們一直被困在澳門，沒有任何的現場娛樂 表演，也沒有地方可去。我渴望參加派對並迫不及待地想打扮自 己！ IAG:「亞博匯50強」正裝晚宴每年的規模變得越來越大、越來越 好，現在更設有官方餘興派對。 你對餘興派對有甚麼期望？ LC: 派對將在永利皇宮泳池舉行，是嗎？我們可以游泳嗎？我期 待參加這次聚會並結識更多業內人士。我也有興趣看看誰是跳入 泳池中的第一人！ IAG:很榮幸今年澳門霍氏建築工程能夠加入我們。你可否告訴我 們一些關於公司的歷史？ LC: 最初，霍氏建築工程只是在澳門經營勞務僱傭等業務，提供 建築行業的重型和輕型機械服務。在與多間來自澳門和歐洲的公 司合作後，我決定將公司業務擴大至澳門似乎缺乏的專業利基領 域，這領域就是劇院自動化裝置和持續營運。 我有幸聘請到Chuck Freyer擔任澳門霍氏建築工程的自動 化業務經理，這讓我更有信心公司可獲得維護和營運合同。我 們現在聘請了Ryan Jones擔任自動化業務總監，以加強我們的 交付能力。這兩人在自動化設備方面都具有豐富經驗，加起來 在劇院自動化行業擁有40多年的綜合經驗，並且幾乎與澳門每 個主要場館都曾經合作。公司從此開始成長起來，我擴大了團 隊並擁有敬業的員工，他們能夠有效且高效地、安全準時地完 成項目，並滿足客戶的期望。
