KGL GROUP has been adjudged the Business of the Year for the 2022 business year by the Millennium Excellence Foundation at a plush ceremony held at the Labadi Beach Hotel on February 12, 2023.
Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and Executive Chairman of the KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, who also serves as the Board Chairman of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), received the award and citation on behalf of the Group, called on the government to support private entrepreneurs and businesses to build wealth for the nation.
Mr. Alex Dadey noted that, “Governments do not build wealth, the private sector does, the role of government is to be an enabler; to create conducive environments for the private sector to thrive.
“The situations experienced in this country where private businesses and entities are left frustrated and tore down as another government comes into power is one of our biggest failures as a people.”
Mr. Alex Dadey established the KGL Group – a wholly owned Ghanaian group, consisting of seven subsidiaries operating in several jurisdictions and multiple sectors, including Fintech, Logistics, Agric, Property Development and Commerce, where he serves as Executive Chairman.
Underpinning Alex’s three-decade track record of success is his commitment to building an inclusive financial environment that provides high-value partnerships for small business to thrive and succeed across Ghana.
He is credited with initiating the Ghana Diaspora Homecoming Summit in 2017 and the Ghana Investment and Opportunities Summit UK in 2018, both of which are now held biennially.
