“With outstanding business acumen and ongoing passion, Mr Wee has steered the business continually forward with Stamford Tyres becoming a publicly listed company in 1991.
“Whilst over the past 25 years, the company has continually expanded and evolved into today’s international operation, specializing in the distribution and retailing of tires and wheels plus the manufacturing of wheels.”
