Official of the Sales and Marketing Department presenting a gift to Kofi Boateng
Kofi Boateng, the Managing Director of Tex Styles Ghana (TSG), producers of GTP and Woodin fabrics, has retired.
Mr Boateng, who served the company for 37 years, retired at the end of last month and a special thanksgiving service and a send off party was held in his honour.
The ceremony attracted over 600 members of staff, trade partners from Accra, family, old school mates and friends of Mr Boateng.
Rev. Kingsley Gyekye, Chaplain of the Achimota School, prayed for the wellbeing of Mr Boateng in his retirement.
In a farewell message, Mr Boateng encouraged the workers to continue to maintain a serene business atmosphere because the “business environment is challenging and you need to remain calm to push the company ahead.”
He said Ghana is an island of peace and despite all the difficulties most foreigners want to come and stay here.
Mr Boateng, who rose through the ranks to become the MD in 2014, is a product of Achimota School and the University of Ghana Business School.
He started his career in 1979 with Kumasi Brewery Limited as management trainee after completing national service at the Volta River Authority (VRA).
Mr Boateng later joined Unilever Ghana Limited as a management accountant and served as Group Finance/Sales Director of UAC Textiles.
In 2002, he was appointed the Finance Director of Woodin International and rose to become the Managing Director of Vlisco in July 2014.
Mr Boateng was later presented with gifts by the various departments of the company at the event.
