Abby is the owner and director of two leading catering companies in Hong Kong, Relish and Gingers. She moved to Hong Kong 4 years ago with her husband and was determined to ‘make it’ in F&B here. Abby ended up working for Relish and later acquired the company, then the opportunity also came to take over Gingers.
