This venerable trading company had long been a significant player in the global market, dealing primarily in cotton, silk, and tea, as well as other commodities. Sir Robert's entrepreneurial prowess and business acumen had earned him a prominent position within the firm and the Chinese community in Hong Kong. His journey to the British Empire Exhibition was a testament to his international connections and the far-reaching influence of Jardine, Matheson and Co.
