Humility, managing skills key to his role, says Mothercare's Pang Fu Wei

AS successor to the Pang Kim Hin Group, known for bringing British baby goods brand Mothercare to Singapore, Pang Fu Wei says humility and the art of managing people are the skills he's had to develop, and which remain crucial to his role today.

At 31, he is now managing director of Mothercare Singapore but took no shortcuts to the role, starting out by understanding the business through stints in various departments, from accounts to warehousing.

Conscious of his status as the chairman's son, he says he also clocked in longer hours and more effort to show that "no task was too menial" for him.
