The dinner was attended by around a thousand of Galmon’s staff and business partners including Wilson Jones of JLG, Roger Verallo of Euro Towers and PASMA and Piero Palmeieri of GSR.

Ong said: “Galmon has come a long way since our humble beginnings as a company that started out with only three people and a fleet of only six machines 30 years ago to one of Singapore’s largest aerial work platform specialists today with a staff strength close to 200 and fleet size that’s close to 3,000. I am proud of this success as it gives us the ability to give back to the community. I hope that our contributions will ensure that the needy residents will not have to go hungry and have sufficient food to eat.”
