Wing-Lee Chan

Entrepreneur

Wing’s culinary journey began in her family’s Fish & Chip shop in London, where she developed a deep appreciation for food and hospitality. Born to parents who emigrated from Hong Kong, she grew up immersed in the flavours of both East and West. Inspired by her father, who passed away in 2017, she founded Timmy’s Fusion in 2024—a Food and Drinks brand offering bespoke Dining Experiences and Supper Clubs. The brand is also in the process of launching canned Mocktails infused with Asian flavours.

After a successful career in Finance, Wing followed her true passion, earning a Diploma from Leiths in 2023. She honed her craft in some of the UK’s most renowned fine dining and Michelin-starred kitchens, including The Fat Duck, Dinner by Heston, and 64 Goodge Street.

Drawing inspiration from her travels across Asia, Wing fuses traditional Asian flavours with modern British and French techniques, creating dishes that are both innovative and deeply personal. Timmy’s Fusion is named in loving tribute to her late father, whose memory continues to guide her culinary journey.
