Davies Teo, 43 years old, was involved in E-TECH since his early secondary school days when his term breaks were largely spent in his father's company, observing and learning the ropes. He officially joined E-TECH Building Services in 1999 and went through the rank and file - a fundamental requirement laid down by his father for all his children joining the company. The strict routine in fact hardened Davies' resolve to make good in his trade and craft.
As the elder of two boys, Davies took on the role of continuing his father's business when the senior Victor Teo left to build his fortune in The Philippines in the early 2000s. Supported by his elder sister, Shirley and younger brother Richard, he quickly took over the reins and through hard work and early tribulations, transformed E-TECH into a thriving enterprise, following a privatization exercise.
A father of two young and lovely daughters, Davies graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 1996 with a Diploma in Electrical Engineering. He also earned a Specialist Diploma in M&E in 2010 from BCA Academy. A certified Thermographer, Davies has an intimate interest in portrait & landscape photography, earning praise from many for his imaging works.

Richard started to work in E-TECH in 1997, two years earlier than his brother, having developed a passion in his father's growing business. The early days were hard and trying as he had to prove himself in the company. He quickly assimilated into his role and picked up new skills and business traits in the course of his work. His diligence, determination and good nature are attributes well appreciated by customers who reward E-TECH with repeat work and recommendation of new clients.
Married with two daughters and a son, Richard is not someone who rests on his laurels. To improve his credentials, he continued to garner new skills and knowledge in recent years.

Victor Teo, 67 years old, is the Founder of E-TECH Building Services which he started as a sole proprietor in 1990 with a small capital and only two workers. He was only 14 when he first arrived in Singapore in 1966 with his parents and younger sister from Muar, Malaysia, armed with virtually nothing but a bagful of hopes. He decided that learning a trade was the only way to make it in life, so he joined an electrical subcontracting firm Lim Hua Electrical Construction in 1967. Over the ensuing years, he sharpened his skills in the trade and became an Assistant Section Head at Meritus Mandarin Hotel in Orchard Road. In 1987 he joined Furama City View Hotel as Duty Engineer, a quantum leap in his career since crossing the Causeway two decades earlier. Subsequently he made his mark at Oriental Hotel, also as a Duty Engineer, but now much more confident and assertive.
Whilst working at Oriental Hotel, Victor set up M&E firm, E-TECH Building Services in 1990. A cautious man, he held on to his job at Oriental Hotel for another four years before taking the plunge by leaving his stable job and running E-TECH full-time. That was the start of the E-TECH story. With his hard work, the business took off and he was able to rope in his children to help run the business when they were ready.
Making Singapore his home, Victor today has gone into the back seat but still reports for work every day. He is still involved in some aspects of the business but his primary role is now largely one of a mentorship - when his advice is necessary for the company. A grandfather of 5 grandchildren, Victor can now sit back and smell the roses, having built E-TECH Building Services from scratch.
