The development of PCH saw activity across the globe from Donoughmore, Co. Cork in Ireland to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province in China. Liam Casey started his career in fashion retail with Tricot Marine, moving to the United States to work for a trading company, before finally landing in Shenzhen, China. The company was named after the Pacific Coast Highway, in memory of Casey’s time living in California. During his time in the United States, Casey worked for a trading company that imported from China. After visiting the country and witnessing the quality and work ethic of Chinese manufacturers, he spotted an opportunity to match Chinese manufacturing with western markets. In 2007, Liam Casey was named Ernst & Young Irish Entrepreneur of the Year.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
