When we talk about “creating work opportunities for the disabled”, a few types of jobs immediately come to mind, e.g. body massage, carwashing, cleaning at restaurants, bakeries, or call centres. For both Taiwan and Hong Kong, stereotyping is still serious and most employers are not convinced that disabled employees could perform equally well.
Before founding Victory, Roy made a few attempts in creating work opportunities for the disabled. Those attempts (e.g. typing and typesetting) failed because their service was not differentiable from the services offered by competitors. Just like all other great entrepreneurs, Roy learnt from failures and became more determined than ever to find viable market opportunities and also ensure professionalism in the work of his employees.
By now, Victory has 14 business units and offers a variety of tasks and positions that cater for different types and different levels of disability. Victory provides meticulous training to all staff and has various measures in place to maintain a professional standard of service. Victory is most well-known for operating gas stations and Family Mart convenience stores. It also offers positions in coffee roasting, glass art creation, graphic design, utility meter taking and more.
Driven by a strong belief that every human being has infinite potential and a commercial mindset of operational efficiency and profitability, Victory has demonstrated an innovative approach that is a combination of “market-driven model” and “faith-driven model”. By the year ended 31 Dec 2024, Victory had recorded NTD 494million revenue (of which 90% was business revenue, 5% government subsidies and only 1% donations) and a NTD36million profit.
