Mr Wee has propelled Stamford Tyres
forward as its CEO since the 1970s
after taking over the helm from his
father, who had founded the first
StamfordTyres entity in the 1930s as a
petrol pump service station and tyre
retail shop. Using his stellar business
acumen and relentless passion,
Mr Wee went on to steer Stamford
Tyres to a public listing in 1991, and
steadily expanded its business into
what it is today - an international
operation in the distribution and
retailing of tyres and wheels, and
manufacturing of wheels. His
passion for, and in-depth knowledge
of, the tyre business inspire his team
to achieve - and have gained him
international recognition in the
industry. Highly regarded in the tyre
industry and the business world,
he was selected as a finalist for the
Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the
Year award (under the category of
Services and Business products) in
2004, one of the most prestigious
awards for entrepreneurs.
Mr Wee holds a Bachelor of Social
Science in Economics and Law from
