He went on to work in the marketing department, where he contributed to the firm’s business development work in Singapore. By 2007, Utracon had grown exponentially to become the largest specialist contractor in Singapore, and Utracon Overseas was formed for Mr Khoo to take the firm’s services to the Greater Asia Region.

In an interview with The CEO Magazine previously, he said about his leadership style: “Leading by example is very important. I always try to be a good role model. I lead my team by giving directions instead of instructions, because that kind of relationship is like treating them as a partner. Teamwork is very important; we ensure our staff feel that we are working as a team, as a family.”
