Jimmy Lai
I have known Jimmy Lai for more than 40 years in both a business and personal capacity.
My first contact with Jimmy was in the early 1970s after we had founded Fenn Wright & Manson, a fashion company which was established in New York and Hong Kong.
As with most young companies, we needed a great deal of support. Jimmy’s factory, Comitex, became a very valuable supplier and Jimmy went out of his way to help us. Whatever promises he made, he kept.
This business relationship became the foundation of a lifelong friendship which also included our families. My wife and I have visited Jimmy’s children at their school in England and we visited Jimmy’s late mother and sister in Canada. Jimmy and his wife, Teresa, flew from Hong Kong to attend our daughter’s wedding in London and he also came to the funeral of my original business partner Glynn Manson.
I always knew that Jimmy was available for advice and support in both business and personal matters. He is a man of great honesty and integrity.
In light of my lifelong experience with Jimmy Lai, he is a person whose word can absolutely be relied upon.
Yours sincerely
Colin Fenn
