When fires raged in the Blue Mountains and Southern Highlands (NSW) in October 2013, founder and Managing Director of ABC Tissues, Henry Ngai, and wife Jenny, immediately offered support to The Salvation Army’s Bushfire Appeal.

When Henry and Jenny arrived in Australia on a business migrant visamore than 25 years ago, they had a suitcase full of dreams. They raised their three children in Sydney and started a small tissue business in their garage.                          

The successful business now employs 700 people locally in Wetherill Park and spans Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and China.

In 2013 Henry was awarded the Champion of Champions award at the 25th annual Ethnic Business Awards. The award recognises the achievements of migrant and indigenous business men and women.

At the time of the October 2013 fires, Henry and Jenny donated $100,000 to The Salvation Army Bushfire fire appeal, as well as 200 crates of Quilton toilet tissue products.

Henry and Jenny have previously been generous donors to Salvation Army Australian and overseas disaster relief efforts, especially at the time of the devastating floods in Queensland in 2011.
