DR. ERNEST OFORI SARPONG – BOARD CHAIRMAN
Dr Ofori Sarpong is an astute businessman of many years’ experience. Born some 47years ago and a proud product of Presbyterian Boys Secondary School (Presec), has an amazing business career in the small and medium scale industry and an up and coming industrialist. In the 1990s he formed the SARPONG VENTURES LTD, an import and trading business, worked very hard and in no time became very renown in the Central District of Accra.
He set up the SPECIAL INVESTMENTS LTD which is a real estate and construction business and can boast of a significant number of estate houses and apartments in very strategic area of the city and numerous office complexes and shops. In conjunction with a very close friend of his, Dr Osei-Kwame (a.k.a Despite), they formed the United 2 Co. Ltd which is a holding company for the U2 SALT LTD – a 600 acre salt mining company and a refinery at Winneba in the Central Region. They again co- partnered in setting up a television station by name UNITED TELEVISION (UTV Ltd) which is currently one of the leading TV stations in the country.
Dr Ernest Ofori-Sarpong, who has had the dream of becoming a big time industrialist, solely proceeded to form a mineral water company, SPECIAL ICE LTD which can currently boast of two factories in Accra and Kumasi. In the very short life of Special Ice Ltd, the product won an unprecedented award as the best mineral water for 2013 and is
not resting in achieving greater laurels. Once again, in collaboration with his good partner, Ernest and his co-partner have recently set up a savings and loans company called BEST POINT SAVINGS AND LOANS CO. LTD for which he is the Board Chairman, with this savings and loans company already becoming a highly recognized financial institution.
Dr Ernest Ofori-Sarpong, a recent recipient of ‘The Best Manufacturing Entrepreneur Award for 2014, is a God fearing man and a good Christian brought up in the Presbyterian way. He is blessed with a pretty wife and three lovely children.
