The managing director of Liang & Eimil, Honghui Liang, is the subject of our spotlight for International Women’s Day this year. Honghui and Frank, a husband-and-wife partnership, founded their business to provide the interior design sector with much-needed modernism in a world dominated by upscale furnishings and shabby chic housing. Taking pride in producing beautifully built designer furniture, lighting, and accessories, Liang & Eimil are committed to providing original solutions to their clients, enhancing the value of their companies.

Liang & Eimil’s tribute to the feminine spirit illuminates the influences that shape the environment every day, not only on March 8th. According to Honghui, having a strong will, hard effort, dedication, and perseverance are all necessary for becoming a successful entrepreneur. She takes the most pride in having spent ten years from scratch creating Liang & Eimil. She moved to London in 2009 to work with her husband, Frank Eimil, on their company because she “adores interior design” and the items her husband creates.

When asked about the gender gap in leadership positions, Honghui responded that she had observed a movement from male dominance to more female leaders since establishing the company. This was because she had observed an increase in the proportion of female-led businesses. She believes that the main distinction between male and female leaders is that women naturally choose a more participatory approach to management, whereas males frequently favour a hierarchy strategy.

Embrace Equity

When it comes to fostering an unbiased workplace, Honghui promotes fairness by making sure that no employees are subjected to discrimination based on subtle traits. In order to provide more women the chance to achieve at all levels, in all industries, and in all areas of life, Honghui believes that this needs to change. She added, “It is time to rethink what it means to be a leader.”  As a family-oriented woman, Honghui attempts to balance the two that are most significant to her: her family and her business, spending as much time as she can with them. She anticipates being able to spend more time with her family as Liang & Eimil grows and much more mid-level managers join the team.
