It has always been a dream to own the biggest and most effective ranch in West Africa to provide good Food.”
According to him, the birth of his company, Hyde Group of Companies, was a result of his ability to manage his mother’s business in the Central business hub of Ghana as well as ensure that his dad’s businesses were up and running. This unique skill he got is in addition to the education he’s had from the schools he attended.
