Eliza White, Managing Director Honan Asia, grew up on a farm just outside of Bendigo, Victoria.

‘To this day, whenever I get home, a pair of gloves are thrown at me shortly after walking in the front door with an instruction on what needs to be fixed,’ she says. 

‘Dad taught me determination and the ability to problem solve. Mum was loud and unashamedly herself. She taught me to stay true to who I am and to always have fun’, says White.

‘There are many similar values between Asian culture and country people,’ she says. ‘For example, the collectivist society, particularly in terms of the importance of community.’
