Wing Yip are featured in the June 2005 edition of Nisa Today’s publication, Your Consortium. Wing Yip are proud members of the Nisa-Today Group and the feature states:

"At the same time, Wing Yip’s importance to the Nisa-Today’s membership cannot be understated. Oriental cuisine is now a part of everyday life for most people in the UK and with the Wing Yip range it is becoming easier by the day for shoppers to reproduce Chinese dishes at home, which are equal in quality to those from the local Chinese restaurant or takeaway."

More Birmingham Memories published by True North takes a nostalgic look back at the history and development of Birmingham as well as featuring those who have contributed to the life of the city over the years. As the leading Chinese supplier of Chinese foodstuffs and with over 35 years of business in Birmingham, Wing Yip was very fortunate to have been asked to contribute to the book. The Wing Yip story reflects the growing popularity of Chinese food in the United Kingdom.

SC Magazine say " His "belt and braces" approach has ensured that no single point of failure can disrupt the smooth running of Wing Yip’s daily operations. His pragmatic, risk-based approach to security should serve as a role model for other small to medium sized businesses."

Wing Yip are proud to have been one of the Birmingham businesses featured in Living Genius, a Central TV production which was broadcast in December 2004.
