E&E celebrates 70th anniversary
E&E celebrates 70th anniversary
E&E is proud to be celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2021, having played a major role in the pro AV industry since it was established in 1951. Milestones along the way include the National Theatre in 1963; the National Stadium in 1973; Esplanade, Theatres by the Bay in 2002; Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall and Singapore Sports Hub in 2014; Changi Airport Terminal 4 in 2017 and, most recently, the Bicentennial Experience in 2019.
E&E was founded by the late Mr Goh Kiok Chuan in 1951, with his eldest son Ronald Goh joining the family business while pursuing his tertiary education in the early 1960s. The Gohs worked closely together, increasing their market dominance locally and regionally, and the company is proud to embody the same entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, Mr Goh.
In 2003, Gary Goh followed in the footsteps of his father Ronald Goh, joining the company as a project engineer and serving in various positions before becoming deputy managing director in 2011 where he continues to strengthen the focus on E&E’s commitment to its customers and push new boundaries by expanding its portfolio with product innovation and engineering.
As E&E moves into its next phase, Ronald Goh will assume the role of chairman of the E&E group of companies, with Gary Goh becoming chief executive officer. Joe Fong becomes chief operations officer, with Cynthia Nah as chief finance officer.
“This transition in leadership has been years in the making, with both Gary and Joe having been appointed deputy managing directors in 2011,” commented Ronald Goh. “Their leadership has been instrumental in both evolving and driving E&E’s growth strategy over the last decade. With both of them at the helm, I am confident that their combined experience and dedication to the company will help carry E&E into the future and secure its continued success in the years to come.
“We are also truly fortunate to have a talented team at E&E who have been instrumental in our success over the years, with more than a quarter of our staff having been with us for over 10 years.”
Added Gary Goh: “We are in unprecedented times as we celebrate this momentous milestone. The pandemic has had a big impact on our industry, but our team has stayed dedicated and resilient with the determination that we will emerge stronger than ever before. E&E is built on the values that have shaped us for the past 70 years, and it is these values that will continue to guide us for the years to come. We are thankful to our clients, partners and team for being on this amazing journey with us as we set out on our next lap of the E&E legacy.”
“Having grown from a family business to what we are today, E&E has become one of the very few AV companies that has been around for 70 years globally,” summed up Fong. “We are excited about this celebration while taking on a new mission to bring E&E to 80, 90 and 100 years.”
