1 Man

Mr Lee’s the OG multi-hyphenate – the boss-worker-PR person running Patient Courier solo, motorbike always in tow.

65 Years Old

He’s of retirement age, but the man says he has no plans to stop. (We can hear BB’s sigh of relief already.)

365 Days

You may moan about your job, but the assiduous Mr Lee is on call all year round.

20+ Years

It’s been a lifelong career for him in the courier business.

2 Years

That’s how long the affable man’s been working with BB.

10-15 Trips

The number of times he goes back and forth (on an average day) between clients that include the PR offices of major luxury players.

$10-$12

If you use carrier services, you’ll know that these prices that Mr Lee charges are extremely affordable. But don’t try to tip – he won’t accept any more than he deems necessary. As BB says: “He’s an extremely principled man.”

20 Minutes

The time it takes to recite one of his self-penned poems. Yes, not only does Mr Lee dispatch, he also finds the time to practise poetry, wax lyrical on subjects ranging from Winston Churchill to William Shakespeare, and pop down regularly to the library during his down time. A real Renaissance man, much?
