We recently celebrated a major milestone at Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients: Alex Yap's 25th anniversary with our company. In a world where job-hopping has become increasingly common, it is rare to find someone who has spent a quarter of a century with the same organisation. This is why we were thrilled to celebrate this momentous occasion that brought together many colleagues to honour and thank Alex for his hard work and contributions over the past 25 years.

Throughout his tenure, Alex has shown exceptional leadership skills and an unparalleled ability to motivate and inspire those around them. This resulted in him becoming the General Manager of Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients Singapore and Malaysia a few years ago, stepping up and expanding from his role as Department Manager of Performance Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals & Personal Care for Singapore and Malaysia.

We are pleased to present a selection of quotes from colleagues who, collectively, have known Alex for a remarkable 65 years.
Ayu from the Regional Business Operations team had this to say: "I've known Alex for 25 years. He is a genuinely nice man. He is someone I honour and respect and I will extend my support whenever he needs my help."
"He is an approachable person with an always can-do attitude and a companionable and kind-hearted GM. Thank you and wish you many more years ahead with JJ" shared Jessie Lim, Customer Service Executive.
Maurice Lee, Alex's colleague in the Performance Chemicals department, shared the following: "Alex is uniquely Alex. He has an endless energy of positivity and his door is always open to anyone."
