Executive Director Mark Yeo of Econflo Systems is a second generation leader in his family business started by his father and uncles.

Graduating from RMIT in Aerospace Engineering, he worked for SIAEC for a couple of years before joining the company. At first reluctant to join the family business because of a desire to build a career in the engineering sector, Mark decided to be part of the family business when there was a need for a multi-role manager to handle the unassigned portfolios.

In his new position as a manager in Econflo Systems, Mark was placed in charge of the logistics department, had to schedule vehicle maintenance and assist the senior manager in IT matters.

The first major task that was assigned to Mark and accomplished successfully was the relocation and consolidation of the company’s warehousing facilities. The management had decided to sell its industrial building at Kaki Bukit Terrace and consolidate the office with the showroom at Beach road for a more efficient operation.

This led to the relocation of the warehouse to Clementi Loop and the goods stored at various 3PL vendors were withdrawn and returned to the warehouse. This warehouse relocation was a milestone for the company as it was where we first implemented a racking system and used MHE to move palletised goods.

In his present portfolio, Mark handles matters that are essential to both the sales and administrative teams. These include applying for performance bonds when required by a project, handling contracts and tenancy agreements, financial control and HR matters.
