Six months ago, few people in New Zealand had a clue who Simon Henry was. He was just an anonymous millionaire running his successful business. But then, all of a sudden, his comments referring to My Food Bag founder Nadia Lim catapulted him into the public consciousness for all the wrong reasons. NZ Herald investigative journalist Carolyne Meng-yee has been trying to secure an interview with Henry ever since those comments were made. She finally got to sit down with the man for an extensive chat on Lim, business and life in Christchurch. Today, Carolyne Meng-yee joins guest host Chelsea Daniels to share a glimpse of the world according to Simon Henry and why we should pay attention to his comments.

The Immigration Reset: 4/10"Because it's driven by the overarching view that less is more.In the case of a country so short of skills, it simply isn't true." Simon Henry: 2/10"Made the list last week as dick of the week.Amazingly, he is back for more with that two-line apology." Willie Jackson: 3/10"Not as bad as Henry but clearly working on it.Calling David Seymour a useless Māori is playing the man not the ball.And it shows a fear of real debate." Government's Law and Order Package: 7/10"It's a confession that crime is out of control.That's what polls do for you. They deny, deny, deny until "whoops here's some money." Our Spending: 6/10"Yes, we are getting less for more, but at least the money is still coming out of the wallet as the April figures revealed." BNZ's Call Around a Recession: 4/10"Not their fault but they are right.We are closer to a recession every day." Supermarkets' Price Freezes and Reductions: 6/10"Let's give them the benefit of the doubt.Go get a few bargains and go save a bit of money." Emirates: 7/10"For bringing the A380 back to the country.Let the expansion not stop there." Air New Zealand: 4/10"The call centre mess is unnecessary.The re-launch, although hampered by government ineptitude and false starts, doesn't look flash.Just because it's local and we own it doesn't mean we have to fly it."

Foodstuffs has announced it will cut prices to some 100 products for the next three months to ease the cost of living. Is this marginally better than Countdown's price freeze announced last week? The Government's immigration reset – doesn't look like it's going to get much easier or faster to get workers in. Is now the time to make it hard to employ foreign workers? Nadia Lim got an "apology" from Simon Henry. It was a two-line email. This is a lesson in how not to apologise, right?

Simon Henry has finally issued an apology to Nadia Lim over his 'Eurasian fluff' comments. Simon is claiming to have called Nadia several times last week trying to apologise, however, Nadia's phone records confirm she never received nor missed a call from him. So, instead, he sent a simple two-line apology via email. And as expected it's' gone down poorly. Deborah Pead runs public relations for My Food Bag. She joined Heather du Plessis-Allan. LISTEN ABOVE
There's a lot to unpack with Simon Henry and his attempt at an apology to Nadia Lim. I don't know if two minutes on the radio will do justice to how much there is to unpack here, it may need a counsellor with a lot of time on their hands to help Simon get to the bottom of what on earth is going on with him, suffice to say, it's embarrassing. I mean why'd he even bother? Two lines, in a token email, sent by his office manager, six days after the event, and days after he said he'd apologized. How awkward. The email said, “Please take this letter as my sincere and formal apology for my inappropriate language in relation to you used in the interview.” That's it. Are you kidding me? You can't make this stuff up.He also alleged he'd made several attempts to call Lim on her cell phone, but Nadia says she has no missed calls or voicemails, so that's awkward as well. How a guy this high up the food chain has cocked this up so badly beggars belief, but it also calls into question those around him. Who's advising this guy? Why hasn't he enlisted any decent PR or damage control? Who's telling him this is acceptable?I mean, take the temperature. It's gone down like a lead balloon, it's dominated headlines for days, it's seen stocks dropping, reputation getting trashed, negative publicity, how bad do you want it to get?His one shot at redemption was a fulsome, sincere and at this point grovelling apology. He should've been on bended knee by now asking for forgiveness, acknowledging the mistake he made, acknowledging his misogyny and racism and promising to work on it. He should have apologized to more than just Nadia – but also her family, her kids, her parents, all women of Asian descent offended by this, her work colleagues, his work colleagues. There was so much more he could've done, and yet, he's done the bare minimum.He seems completely without remorse. Does he even see how bad this looks? When will the penny drop?And I don't doubt that in Henry's corporate bubble they'd have workshopped this apology knowing full well it'd be made public, so to think a bunch of corporate lackeys sat around finessing this to the two line disgrace that is, makes me wonder what the hell goes on at this company and how out of touch they all really are. Is there anyone in there thinking clearly?Henry was the one lacking judgement and making the initial blunder – which quite apart from the misogyny and the racism, shows he did not have the foresight to think about who he was messing with. Nadia Lim is a national treasure for goodness sake. A smart, savvy and successful business woman but also a wholesome and much loved upstanding New Zealander.You don't lash out at any woman like that, but certainly not Nadia Lim, without the wrath of women everywhere coming down on you.So that was his bad – but from then onwards his company knew what was up – or going down - as the case may be – and yet this is still the best they could come up with? It's pathetic.

If you started the week not knowing the name Simon Henry, you probably know it now.He's the rich-lister who is the founder and chief executive of chemicals company DGL Group who is under fire - quite rightfully, might I add - for saying some appalling things about Nadia Lim, whose name I'm guessing you did know at the start of the week. Masterchef winner and judge, co-founder of My Food Bag, creator of the lockdown TV cooking show, organic farmer - she's done and is doing a whole lot of things.And she is somewhat reluctantly in the news today because of what Simon Henry said about her in a media interview - calling her “Eurasian fluff”.He was talking about My Food Bag not performing well since it listed on the sharemarket with a journalist from the National Business Review. Here's what he had to say about the company's sharemarket prospectus document."When you've got Nadia Lim, when you've got a little bit of Eurasian fluff in the middle of your prospectus with a blouse unbuttoned showing some cleavage, and that's what it takes to sell your script, then you know you're in trouble."And he suggested that Nadia Lim uses her "sensuality" to sell her products. He said she was "a TV celebrity showing off her sensuality".By the way, just for clarification, the only picture of Nadia Lim in the My Food Bag prospectus has her standing around a barbecue in a casual v-necked camisole top with jeans. The top has no buttons.So he's talking out of his backside, or his rear cleavage.I think I said this yesterday, I think (in my honest opinion) that Simon Henry has shown himself to be a complete turkey with these comments.And I don't appear to be alone. The response has been pretty swift.KiwiSaver provider Kiwi Wealth has added Henry's company, DGL Group, to its investment exclusions list. So Kiwi Wealth has blacklisted it.Nadia Lim herself has said overnight that she didn't want to get involved in this whole thing but that changed on Wednesday night when she found herself sitting opposite a young flight attendant on a trip from Christchurch to Queenstown.Here's what Nadia Lim said about that overnight on social media: "I smiled at her and she smiled back at me and I actually felt a little bit emotional. She was a young woman of Asian descent, like myself, and I thought 'How do you feel when you hear things like that? Or read things like that?'"And what she's commenting on there, in particular, is Simon Henry's description of her as “a bit of Eurasian fluff”.I don't think I've heard anyone refer to a woman as a “bit of fluff” since the 1990s. In fact, I'll tell you the year - it was 1997 and I was in London and this media company guy I was working for was going on about “bits of fluff”.So these comments from Simon Henry in 2022 feels very old-school to me and, in my opinion, he deserves everything that's coming to him.But I know there will be others too who think there's nothing wrong with what he said. They'll look at the fact that he's successful and rich and probably be quite willing to turn a blind eye, because….well, because he's successful and rich.Yes, he's successful (whatever that means). And yes, he is rich. He's also shown himself through these comments to be an arrogant turkey. There are a lot of arrogant turkeys around, I know. He's not alone. But most of them limit their sexism and misogyny to drinks with the boys on Friday night. That doesn't excuse it.But when someone tells a reporter to quote them, and then goes on to say what Simon Henry said about Nadia Lim - and not just Nadia Lim, about all women of Asian descent - then that takes it to next-level ignorance and arrogance.Now, even though I'm condemning Henry, it does raise the question whether these types of things get blown out of proportion these days due to the simple fact that, as a society, we are very quick to get outraged on behalf of other people.As Nadia Lim herself has said, she didn't want to get involved but then felt she had to when...
A KiwiSaver fund has blacklisted a chemical company over its chief executive's alleged racist and sexist comments about celebrity chef and My Food Bag Founder, Nadia Lim. In an interview with NBR, the rich lister boss of DGL, Simon Henry described Ms Lim as a "little bit of Eurasian fluff " and claimed she was showing cleavage in the company prospectus to sell shares. Investment organisation Kiwi Wealth has a responded by adding DGL to its exclusion list. Its CEO Rhiannon McKinnon talks to Lisa Owen.

The backlash against racist and sexist criticism of Nadia Lim continue...Chemicals company CEO Simon Henry described Lim as a piece of "Eurasian fluff" - and suggested her appearance could explain why his company had outperformed My Food Bag on the NZX and ASX.Lim responded on social media last night - saying Henry's comments are 'so damaging'.Shareholders' Association Chief Executive Oliver Mander told Mike Hosking not only are his comments insulting to Lim, but to shareholders also.He says they make decisions on rational reasons - and a photo of Nadia Lim cooking over a BBQ isn't going to influence investors either way.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You know by now I'm not one to join aboard the cancel culture train when someone says something deemed out of line, but I think that businessman Simon Henry would be wise to apologise for what he said about Nadia Lim.I'm saying this not because I've taken offence at it, but because he's wrong and because he risks wearing personal and business damage unless here he kills this off as a media story as soon as possible.Just in case you haven't heard this, what he said during an interview with NBR was this: “I can tell you, and you can quote me, when you've got Nadia Lim, when you've got a little bit of Eurasian fluff in the middle of your prospectus with a blouse unbuttoned showing some cleavage, and that's what it takes to sell your scrip, then you know you're in trouble.”If you read the context of the article, he was trying to compare his business' recent IPO with My Food Bag's recent IPO.His IPO did really well. Shares that were worth AUD $1 at float are now worth near AUD $3.80.My Food Bag's IPO did not do as well. Shares that were worth $1.85 at float fell immediately, never recovered, and are now worth less than half of that at 89 cents.Simon Henry accuses My Food Bag of attracting investors by selling on Nadia Lim's appeal.If he is trying to suggest that there are naïve mum and dad investors out there who invest in shares because they recognise the brand and they like the brand and they like the person associated with the brand rather than because they actually understand the fundamentals of the business, than he's right. That does happen.That happens a lot lately, especially in the Sharesies age.But he's wrong to suggest that it's got anything to do with Nadia's cleavage and ethnicity and sensuality. There's not even that any cleavage in the photo that he's talking about and there's certainly nothing in that top to unbutton.Now there's every chance that Simon Henry could weather this storm.He's obviously great at the core part of his job. One equity analyst told media that Henry's one of the best CEO's he's met. DGL's share value is pretty much largely unchanged since the story printed.But already a KiwiSaver fund has added his business to the list of businesses it will not invest in anymore.Commentators are universally outraged by what he said and My Food Bag co-founder Cecilia Robinson is pressuring his board to take action and pressuring investors to reconsider whether this lines up with their principles.Now he can decide whether he wants this to carry on or not.If I was him, I would just rip the bandage off, stem any possible damage by simply getting it over and done with and saying that he's sorry.
Derogatory comments made publically by CEO of DGL Group, Simon Henry may be somewhat perversely, "good news" for investors. Shareholders Association CEO Oliver Mander says some investors may find it helpful to know the true colours of the man.

Satnam Galsian remotely connected to tell me about her band Kinaara:"Kinaara are a Leeds trio exploring the connections between the music of Punjab and the West. Brought together by singer Satnam Galsian in 2018 they aim to achieve an identity that reflects both her Punjabi heritage and their UK upbringing as a whole. They began with the folk songs of Surinder Kaur and the popular songs of Noor Jehan which they infuse with John Hogg's electric guitar textures and the jazz inflections of drummer Simon Henry. The next stage was to bring in the songs from the West, songs of hope and betrayal, and plug them in. Pentangle, Elvin Jones and even The Velvet Underground have been said to be felt in the sound. Kinaara released their debut EP 'Across The River' in April 2021."http://www.kinaara.co.uk/https://www.facebook.com/kinaaraofficial/https://twitter.com/kinaaraofficial?lang=enhttps://www.instagram.com/kinaaraofficial/https://kinaaraofficial.bandcamp.com/album/across-the-riverhttps://linktr.ee/Kinaaraofficialhttps://linktr.ee/satnamgalsian

Rachel and Simon Henry's lives were changed in an instant, but their story goes far beyond that one night. In this second part of the interview, Rachel and Simon continue to share with Davey about getting closure, finding healing, and how God has redeemed their story and turned it into an opportunity for them to help others as well.
Rachel Henry found herself living every woman's nightmare one night when she awoke to strange noises in her house. With her husband Simon away at college and her children asleep in their beds, Rachel was sexually assaulted by three men who had broken into her home. More than four years later, Rachel and Simon have walked through an amazing journey of healing, and they've made it their mission to help others do the same. Rachel and Simon sit down with Davey to share their powerful story of how they've walked from unspeakable horror to God's healing.
