Some next generation members entering the family firm really do enter the fray on the front line and Benson Tan is no exception, and remembers the day 14 years ago when he was set to work in a sweltering container and had to roll up his sleeves.
He is now the CEO and has not looked back, relishing the role in the family business.
Bosses' sons may not typically begin their first day of work at their father's company inside a sweltering metal shipping container in Jurong Island with a just-broken-down air conditioner and shirtless men. Benson Tan, 35, who took over as chief executive officer of mainboard-listed logistics group Cogent Holdings in 2015, still wryly remembers that day 14 years ago.
