Dubai-based FLEX Commodities increases Singapore headcount with new hires

Dubai-based bunker trading firm FLEX Commodities DMCC on Monday (3 November) announced the appointment of April Tan as its Lead Trader – China, and Wilson Tang as Regional Manager – Singapore.

Ms Tan, who is also based in the Singapore office, brings over 15 years of experience in marine fuel trading, sales, and business development with market expertise across China and Singapore marine fuels sectors. 

FLEX Commodities said she has managed end-to-end trading portfolios, developed sourcing and sales strategies, and driven commercial growth across key regional accounts.

Mr. Tang was a Senior Bunker Trader at Singapore-based energy trading company Sing Fuels from 2022 to 2024. 

Maaz Ahmed, Trading Director at the company, said: “FLEX Commodities is stepping up its growth across Asia with the appointment of Ms Tan Ying as Lead Trader – China and Mr Wilson Tang as Regional Manager – Singapore.” 

“The move underscores FLEX’s sharp focus on the booming Asian market, where the company aims to strengthen supplier partnerships and expand its customer portfolio. 

“With both seasoned professionals on board, FLEX reaffirms its commitment to building a strong and lasting presence in the region.”
