There are ways to turn a crisis into an opportunity.
That’s one of the guiding principles of Willy Tee Ten whose business acumen was in full display when he launched the two newest Mitsubishi dealerships under Global Excellence Motors, Inc. despite the fact that the country was in one of the worst economic times in history.
But it seems that there is no stopping Tee Ten, the man behind the Autohub Group of Companies, from growing the number of dealerships in its stable. Aside from representing some of UK’s most prestigious automotive brands Rolls Royce, Lotus and MINI it has now added the country’s second biggest auto brand Mitsubishi as part of its network.
These two new additions under Global Excellence Motors Inc. (Mitsubishi Autohub), formally opens its doors to the public today. From North to South, Mitsubishi Valenzuela and Mitsubishi Global City are two strategically located Mitsubishi dealerships that is poised to give the market an exceptional level of customer service.

Tee Ten studied chemical engineering at De La Salle University placed second in the national chemical engineering licensure examination. After that, I he worked for P&G for a short period of time and then for an ethanol distillery before starting his automotive career.

At the virtual presscon, Tee Tan had said that the first sale he made was with the City of Valenzuela with the help of Cong. Wes Gatchilian, where he was able to secure 18 units of Mitsubishi L300 commercial vehicles as one of his milestone sales at the start of his Mitsubishi dealership.
