    WEE Hur Holdings’ roots may lie in the construction industry, but the mainboard-listed company has quickly made a name for itself in other sectors, from property development and student housing to fund management. 

    This diversification has proven successful, with income growing steadily year on year. 

    In its latest financial year ended December 2023, revenue was up 4.1 per cent year on year to S$224.8 million. Net profit grew 45.1 per cent year on year to S$98.6 million.
