'New face' of Teochew entrepreneurs at inaugural awards

SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business alumna Pauline Ng was the youngest among the winners of the inaugural Teochew Entrepreneur Award presented at the Ritz-Carlton hotel recently. Ms Ng, managing director of Porcelain (a face spa company), was among the 12 Promising Award recipients. Another 16 winners were honoured with the Prestige Awards. She was also one of the six Grand Award winners for topping her category. After her graduation in 2009, she founded her company with her beautician mother Jenny Teng.  Ms Ng has grown her business from a two-bed face spa in Cantonment Road in 2009. It now has its own line of skincare products and 45 employees, most of them therapists. She will have three outlets by October this year.
