The good tandem of Wilson and Melanie is seen even in how they have raised their children.

In the trade show, which is an annual event of the Center for International Education, the reliability of the children displayed the predominant family trait.
Wilson and Melanie are interchangeably commendable in the business circle. The mutual support is seen in how each of them encourages the other. Having grown their business for the past 15 years, commemorating its anniversary is akin to toasting to their own vows. With both active in business and social events, it is a wonder that they still have time to relax and look as young as they are.

Wilson Ng was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year for 2004 by Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Small Business Awardee also for the same year. He teaches Entrepreneurship in the graduate school of his alma mater while Melanie keeps herself busy with other ‘hobbies’, Premium Concepts and Sandee, a novelty shop and boutique respectively. She also gives a face to corporate social responsibility through her active participation in civic concerns and social development through other organizations and as a Visayas Executive Committee Member of the Philippine Business for Social Progress.
Wilson Ng is this year’s Mandaue Business Month Chair of Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry while Melanie Ng was the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chair for the Grand Chamber Awards Night in the Cebu Business Month.
The shared responsibility between the couple shows how stable their partnership is, in and out of business. A gift not many couples are blessed with. A good tandem indeed!
