When you live and breathe your passion, nobody is ever left wondering what you’re all about. Armed with a degree in building and construction management, Kelvin Hon went straight from four years at the National University of Singapore to a seven-year stint with a local construction firm. It didn’t take long for his talents to be noticed.
“A recruiter came to me and said, ‘Kelvin, there’s this construction firm looking for someone like you,’” he recalls. “That was 11 years ago.” The company was ISG limited, a global construction services specialist based in London and built on an unparalleled track record and reputation for delivery in Singapore since 1999. “From the start, I was managing bids and project finance,” Kelvin says. “I’ve been given a variety of opportunities to grow. I’ve been very fortunate.”
Formed as an interiors company in 1989, ISG has grown into a multibillion-dollar business. Its achievements and capabilities are showcased on some of the UK’s most esteemed architectural landmarks including St Pancras International railway station, the Royal Festival Hall and Lord’s cricket ground. Beyond those borders, it has a presence in the Middle East, Europe and South-East Asia, where Kelvin now heads up ISG’s Singapore office as General Manager.
