AmCham Ghana And United Airlines Set For More Collaborations In 2023 And Beyond

AmCham Ghana, on Thursday, January 19, 2023, hosted executives from United Airlines at the Chamber’s secretariat in Accra.

The meeting was to interact with the Chamber’s Executive Secretary, Simon Madjie, to identify possible avenues for collaboration in advancing the mutual interest of United Airlines and the American Chamber of Commerce, Ghana.

Present at the meeting were Robin Schoug, Regional Sales Manager EMEAI at United Airlines, Luc Geerts, United’s Regional Sales Director of Northern Europe, Oluwatomi Bola-Sadipe, Country Sales Manager Nigeria and Ghana, United Airlines, Geert Lemmen, Country Manager Ghana/ Africa at Brussels Airlines, Matilda Hammond, Sales Account Manager at Brussels Airlines, and Jane Okyere-Aduachie, Membership, External Relations, and Project Manager at AmCham Ghana.

The Chamber, in the past, has collaborated with United to host events, including the launch of the SelectUSA recruitment program.

The Chamber’s Executive Secretary said it would be an honor to continue with the AmCham-United collaborations. “United is an important strategic partner for us, not only in connecting business to business but people to people and expanding the U.S. – Ghana culture.”

“All the connections that matter for human beings are made possible by the travels you offer. Your presence has contributed to advancing the strategic objectives of businesses,” Mr. Madjie added.

United re-launched its services to Ghana in May 2021 and has since provided reliable flights at competitive prices for travelers. The airline recently offered a 5-10% discount on airfares to Ghana for the holiday season.

United has eight hubs, with Chicago–O’Hare being its largest in terms of passengers carried and the number of departures. They are also a founding member of the Star Alliance, the world’s largest airline alliance with a total of 28 member airlines.

Ghana’s Ambassador To The United States Visits Bunge Loders Croklaan

Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Hajia  Alima Mahama, on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, paid a courtesy visit to the shea processing plant of AmCham Ghana member  Bunge Loders Croklaan, in the company of AmCham Ghana Executive Secretary, Simon Madjie, and the Chief Commercial Officer and Head of the One District One Factory (1D1F) Initiative at the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Kofi Addo.

The Ambassador’s visit was to engage with management and acquaint herself with their operations. H.E. Mahama interacted with the General Manager of Bunge Loders Croklaan, Santanu Bhuyan, and other unit managers. She was taken through a presentation outlining Bunge’s operations and their remarkable sustainability efforts at ensuring the well-being of the people and the communities where they source their raw materials.

Ambassador Mahama was also given a tour of Bunge’s ultra-modern shea processing plant, one of the best in the world in terms of efficiency and quality, according to Bunge’s General Manager, Santanu Bhuyan.

Bunge Loders Croklaan has successfully established one of the most reliable sourcing networks over 10 years, with 500,000 thousand women collectors and over 1500 employees servicing 10 factories.

Bunge believes empowering women and future generations creates socio-economic value at the origin, which conserves and protects the shea landscape. The company has helped establish shea cooperatives and has supported them through training, providing equipment to improve their operations, building warehouses, Schools, and granting incentives to encourage best practices.

For almost two centuries, Bunge has expanded its focus, but at heart, it remains a business built on transporting and adding value to agricultural commodities. Bunge Loders Croklaan has worked with customers and partners to develop product innovations and breakthrough systems that have revolutionized the food industry.

H.E. Hajia Alima Mahama was impressed by what the company has achieved and was enthused by Bunge’s deliberate efforts at employing and empowering locals and ensuring gender balance at the processing facility.

Gateway Real Estate Africa, Appolonia City Open First Commercial Office Building

Adumuah Place, the first office building at Appolonia City, is open and ready for its first tenants. Developed by Gateway Real Estate Africa (GREA), Adumuah Place is conveniently located off the Adenta-Dodowa Road and strategically positioned at the entrance to Appolonia City, Greater Accra’s new city.

GREA, a leading property developer and manager with operations across Africa, offers corporate office and retail space in the USD 4 million Grade A building. Adumuah Place is anchored by Appolonia Development Company’s new headquarters, a clinic and pharmacy by C & J Medicare Limited and Duka Supermarket, a chain of green grocery stores.

The launch of Adumuah Place was attended by Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye, the Minister for Works and Housing, businessman Sir Sam Jonah and executives from GREA and Appolonia City.

“On behalf of the government, I commend Gateway Real Estate Africa and Appolonia City for their foresight in developing high-quality office space in a decentralized location that is free from the traffic congestion of central Accra,” Asenso-Boakye commented. “Adumuah Place is certain to attract additional tenants that appreciate the live-work-play lifestyle of Appolonia City.”

With offices ranging from 116m2 to 661m2 in the 2,000 m2 building, tenants have a variety of spaces to pick from, depending on their requirements.

“With Adumuah Place, we placed a strong emphasis on reducing tenants’ overall cost of occupation by focusing on clever design features to reduce utility charges and increase tenant comfort,” said GREA CEO and Co-founder Greg Pearson.

Pearson explained that the use of perforated aluminum cladding, for example, shades the building internally, reducing glare and reliance on air conditioning for cooling. Similarly, the building’s northeastern façade has large vertical louvres that reduce glare and heat generated from the morning sun.

Sir Sam Jonah, a director of GREA’s mother company, Grit Real Estate Income Group, said, “Building today is about building for post-covid cities and delivering on the trend towards a new, different and better quality of life in Africa’s business hubs.”

In addition, Adumuah Place benefits from Appolonia City’s existing world-class infrastructure, such as roads, security, ICT and a host of other services.

“Adumuah Place is named in honor of Nii Tei Adumuah II, who ruled Appolonia for 40 years and was a visionary leader of the Appolonia community, our partner in Appolonia City,” said Bright Owusu-Amofah, CEO of Appolonia City. “We are certain Adumuah Place will live up to Nii Tei Adumuah II’s legacy.”

More than two million commuters enter Accra’s CBD every day, creating travel times to work of up to three hours for people who leave their homes after 6am, making for long and tiring days, lower productivity and severely constrained home or leisure time.

Adumuah Place at Appolonia City is the latest in a strategic partnership between GREA and Appolonia City’s developer, Rendeavour, which spans commercial, warehousing and logistics developments at Rendeavour’s new cities in East and West Africa.
