我們的故事

添記始創人 – 趙錦添先生於1946年開始涉足蔬菜批發業務,首間蔬菜批發欄號 – 「添記欄」於香港西環蔬菜批發市場開展蔬菜批發業務,繼而在九龍長沙灣蔬菜批發市場開設分號。添記批發商號業務以批發外國進口高質蔬菜為主,當時趙錦添先生主理的批發業務一時無兩,營運已達73年歷史。

 

第二代接捧人趙國偉先生,因其父親趙錦添先生的離去,毅然停學接手父輩打拼之蔬果批發業務。那時他只有十七歲,憑著前輩的教導及其好學不倦、努力不懈的精神,趙國偉先生由對這盤生意一無所知,變成蔬菜行業無人不曉的商人。趙國偉先生四十年來盡心盡力,並涉足進口業務,將添記管理得頭頭是道。他分別被香港海外入口果菜商會委任為副工商主任及會董。

 

第三代由家族承傳,延續祖輩的心血結晶,繼續傳承七十多年來的營商態度、明碼實價、貨優價宜,繼續將此家族生意自強不息的拼搏精神發揚光大。
 

經過時代巨論的洗禮,雖然與最興盛的時期比已不復璀璨,絕大部分蔬菜批發公司敵不過市場轉變而相繼結業,但添記仍在祖輩的悉心管理下發光發熱,在蔬菜行業穩佔一席位。

 

 

Tim Kee was established in 1946. Mr. CHIU Kam Tim, our founder, started his wholesale vegetable business in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong. The business has gradually extended to three subsidiaries throughout these 73 years.

Father of Mr. CHIU Kam Tim was a landlord who established a Stone Factory in Guangdong. He experienced the struggle session during the Cultural Revolution and thus Mr. CHIU Kam Tim alone escaped to Hong Kong. In the early stage, he partnered with others to start a business but unfortunately he was cheated out of all his savings. In 1956, Mr. CHIU Kam Tim established Tim Kee, a wholesale vegetable store, in Kennedy Town, and worked diligently to make a living.

The successor of Tim Kee was Mr. Rambo CHIU Kwok Wai, son of Mr. CHIU Kam Tim. The sudden passing of Mr. CHIU Kam Tim drove him to pick up the business. He was seventeen at that time. With the teachings of seniors, his diligence and immense efforts, he transformed from knowing nothing to a businessman that everyone knew in the field. He was appointed as Deputy Merchandising Officer and Director of Overseas Fruits and Vegetable Merchants Association respectively. 

The business was succeeded by the family of Mr. CHIU Kwok Wai, further carrying forward the painstaking family business with unremitting efforts.

Despite of the intense competition, Tim Kee could still grow and glow under the family’s hard work.
