B5 Plus Picks 2 Top Awards

Leading Steel and iron rods manufacturer and exporter, B5 Plus Ghana Limited, has won two coveted Ghanaian industry awards.

The company on Saturday, November 25, 2017, was honoured as Ghana's Fastest and Dynamic Growing Iron & Steel Company of the year for 2016 in the maiden edition of the Chamber Business Awards, an initiative of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber Business Awards aims at acknowledging and celebrating key businesses and personalities who have contributed meaningfully to business practices in Ghana.

B5 Plus moved on to grab the prestigious Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) Ghana Club 100 award on Thursday, November 30, 2017 at the Kempinski Hotel, Gold Coast City, in Accra.

In the GIPC awards, which honours 100 companies annually based on three criteria namely profitability, size and growth, B5 Plus emerged as the 48th best company in Ghana.

Chairman of B5 Plus Ghana Limited, Mukesh Thakwani in a statement at the 16th edition of the GIPC Club 100 Awards night held under the theme: 'Industrialization - A tool for job creation and accelerated economic development,' dedicated the awards to employees of the company, without whom, he said, the company would not have achieved anything significant.

According to him, B5 Plus, since its establishment in 2002, has worked hard to improve its operations, moving from being an importer of iron and steel to become a major exporter of such products to 15 West African states.

Through hard work and strategic leadership, he reiterated, the company has from its humble beginnings contributed immensely to the growth of the Ghanaian economy, providing about 2,000 direct and indirect jobs.

He emphasized that B5 Plus remained committed to providing quality products to its clients, saying "B5 Plus is always doing very well in our own sector, producing quality goods at competitive rates."
