This year’s Ashanti Business Excellence Awards, Ashanti Financial Services Excellence Awards and Ashanti Business Leaders Excellence Awards Ceremonies have been scheduled to be organised simultaneously on Friday 9th May 2025 at the Lancaster Kumasi City Hotel.
This year marks the 22nd editions of both the Ashanti Business Excellence Awards and the Ashanti Financial Services Excellence Awards as well as the 15th version of the Ashanti Business Leaders Excellence Awards Schemes which are all organised by Top Brass Ghana.
The joint Awards Dinner will be in commemoration of the 75th birthday of Otumfuo the Asantehene in recognition of his pivotal role in the social and economic development of Ashanti.
The Ashanti Business and Financial Services Excellence Awards Schemes were instituted in 2004 within the context of the vision of Otumfuo for the economic development of Ashanti and of Ghana for that matter.
The Ashanti Business Excellence Awards Scheme was introduced in 2015.
All the three Awards Schemes have the common objective of honouring corporate entities as well as captain of business, industry and finance whose products and services have made a remarkably positive impact on Ashanti’s economic development.
According to Isaac Dakwa, Director of Top Brass Ghana, a High Representative of Otumfuo will grace the occasion which will have the Hon. Ashanti Regional Minister as the distinguished Guest of Honour with the Vice-Chancellor of the Kumasi Technical University serving as the Chairman.
