THE work of transforming The Straits Trading Company into a major player in real estate, hospitality and resources is unfinished, says executive chairman Chew Gek Khim in her own assessment. Yet, the crucial steps of building its key business platforms are over.
"It's time to get the system running," says Ms Chew, also the executive chairman of Tecity Group, her family investment vehicle that controls Straits Trading.
One could argue that the transformation of the 127-year-old Straits Trading would not have been possible without Ms Chew's success in taking control of the company from the Lee family of OCBC Bank back in 2008 in a takeover.
