The Founder and Managing Director of Venthill Group, Simon Wong, is a big believer in integrity and communication – seeing it as of the utmost importance in business. In a recent interview, he shared with Top 10 of Asia how these core values and attributes have enabled him to develop his shipping and logistics business.
Wong’s experience in the shipping and logistics industry began when he was nineteen years of age. After acquiring a couple of years of experience in the industry, he incorporated Venthill Sdn Bhd in 2002. Eighteen years on, Wong has developed and expanded his business into six companies handling freight services, vessel chartering, and a host of other services.
Venthill Group has established itself as a one-stop solution for customers’ logistics needs, but Wong believes that his business is so much more than that. “I strongly believe that integrity is very important in business. With integrity, comes reliability and authenticity, and that’s what customers want,” says the dynamic and enterprising businessman.
Communication is especially critical in the present time when climate change is impacting the shipping and logistics industry. On this, Wong states, “Communication is very important. We have to communicate well with our customers about the impact of climate change in the industry. We need to ensure that the customers fully understand the issues involved.”
