About us

Silk Baby is one of the hero brands of Acton International, a Wellington based family-run company that has been in business for almost 50 years.  Acton International is a distributor of several much-loved premium brands like Indomie, Golden Sun, Lee Kum Kee and the Silk Baby range.

Father and son duo Ray and William Thomas have a long connection with Wellington Free Ambulance and donated an ambulance in 2023.  They're now extending their support through the business to come on board as Onesie Principal Partner for 2025. 

“Silk Baby is all about being there for families every step of the way – just like Wellington Free Ambulance. We’re proud to support a service that’s always there when people need it most. Partnering with the Onesie Appeal is our way of giving back to the community that’s supported us for decades,” explains William Thomas, Acton International.

The Annual Onesie Appeal is Wellington Free Ambulance's flagship community fundraising event, held every September with the goal of raising $200,000 to help fund vital equipment, vehicles and keep the service free of charge.   

“Having an iconic brand like Silk Baby supporting Onesie as Principal Partner is fantastic.  The values of Acton International are very similar to what we pride ourselves on at Wellington Free – honesty, integrity, putting people first.  That is why this partnership is such a natural collaboration,” explains Claire Carruthers, General Manager of Fundraising and Communications. 

Thanks to the partnership with Silk Baby every donation made online from Monday 8 September at www.onesieday.co.nz will be doubled up to $50,000! How ONESIE-FUL is that! 

A huge thank you and tēnā koe to Silk Baby for their support.
