Company History

Back in 1963, St John Ambulance Headquarters at Beach Road was administrated by England. Dr D P McIntyre, C.St.J, B.B.M. gave approval to Mr Chua Joon Nam, O.St.J (then Area Commissioner and Store Manager) and Mr Tan Siow Buck, O.St.J (then Assistant Store Manager) to run the St John Store at the Headquarters. Their mission was to supply first aid items, uniforms and accessories to St John members.

Having acquired a shop space at 756 North Bridge Road, Mr Tan Siow Buck set up First Aid Equipment Supplying Store on 2 May 1972 in place of St John Store to reach out to businesses, schools and general public on the importance of having first aid kits in workplaces and homes. The Store also broadened its product range to include safety consumables, wheelchairs and walking aids. In 1976, Mr Tan Siow Buck set up a private limited company - First Aid Supplies Pte Ltd - to better serve the public on their first aid needs. We shifted to our present location at Jalan Kledek in 1994.
