WEE KOK WAH
President
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 Stamford
Tyre 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 the
then University of Singapore (nowknown
as National University of Singapore).
