At 11:30am on the auspicious date of 11th March 2003, a
signing ceremony was held between WOFS.com and Fortune Space of New
Zealand.
Those present at the event included WOFS.com CEO Jennifer Too, new
franchisees Honey Lim and Patrick Tay of Fortune Space, Mr. & Mrs.
Valeontis from Australia, and of course the inimitable Lillian Too.
Fortune Space, the 7th international WOFS franchisee, has
been appointed master franchisee for New Zealand, and is committed to
developing a string of boutiques in the country through
sub-franchising. Its owners, Honey Lim and Patrick Tay, reside in
Auckland. Honey is a graduate of the Master’s Consultants Course from
the Lillian Too Institute of Feng Shui, and Patrick is a manager with
the Auckland City Council working on strategic planning for Auckland
City’s growth.
Lillian Too, who was there to officiate the event,
expressed excitement that the WOFS global network has arrived in New
Zealand: “New Zealand has a lot of “dragons”, which can be seen in its
beautiful natural undulating landscape, making it a very lucky country,
like Australia.”
She also said in her speech that it was her hope that with
WOFS, Fortune Space will bring to New Zealand a place where the people
can not only purchase all the feng shui products needed to enhance luck
and suppress ill fortune, but also to expand their knowledge on the
subject.
To date there are eight WOFS boutiques around the globe, with three
more to be set up by the end of May, making it a total of 11. Fortune
Space will add to this number.
