Since then, Biggs has taken on roles as the chair of the board that oversees the Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency, and CEO of the Wellington-based Assignment Group.
Chin & Ching is based in Melbourne, where Biggs will be acting as chair of the agency.

Please fix the H&N in Chin& as they sit too high above the baseline.
If you’re looking to invoke a sense of movement, be more deliberate in your design. RN it looks like an oversight/mistake.
