Wong says working with her brother has been a huge strength but there were also “definitely a lot of arguments”.
They had to learn to behave like colleagues at work rather than siblings.
When the company was considering moving from a 5,000 sq ft factory to a 30,000 sq ft site, with annual rent jumping from around £40,000 to £500,000, Wong says she was more willing to take the risk while her brother was naturally more cautious.
But that difference in opinion has helped them make better decisions as they “balance each other out”.
Her advice for anyone working with family is to set boundaries for how you interact in the workplace.
“You have to be really mindful that you’re being as respectful to your brother as a colleague and you see him as a colleague and not a sibling,” she says.
Now that Little Moons has a chief executive and wider leadership team, the pair are less involved in the day-to-day running of the company which Wong says has allowed them to “just be brother and sister again”.
