Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of lead flooring and interior finishing company in Ghana, Modern Floors and Walls, Basil David Anthony, was honoured with the prestigious ‘Young Achiever of the Year’ award at the Ghana Executive Awards, 2025 held last Friday, May 16th, at the Labadi Beach Hotel.
This recognition celebrates Mr. Anthony’s visionary leadership, unwavering entrepreneurial spirit, and his drive to build a globally respected brand that continues to innovate across the flooring and construction sector.
In his acceptance speech, Basil remarked: “As the recognitions keep coming in, I remain grounded by one truth: ‘Complacency is the obstacle between you and greatness.’ The journey hasn’t been without challenges — and more will surely come — but with focus, faith, and determination, we will overcome.”
Founded in Ghana and now with a footprint in Kenya, the UAE, and the UK, Modern Floors and Walls has become a trusted name for premium quality finishing products and solutions, including: Artificial Carpet Grass (AstroTurf), Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) for floors and walls, SPC Click Lock Tiles, Carpet Tiles, and Adhesives and Installation Services.
A standout innovation is the company’s flagship ‘Super Proof’ 3-in-1 acrylic waterproof paint, which has proven to be a lifesaver this rainy season — offering a reliable, affordable solution for homes and buildings battling water damage and roof leakages.
Beyond business, Basil Anthony is also celebrated for his philanthropic impact. Through the Basil David Anthony Foundation, he continues to empower Africa’s next generation by donating educational materials, hosting entrepreneurship training programs, and inspiring youth through his book, Dream Bigger.
With this award, Basil reaffirms his mission to lead by example, uplift others, and create lasting impact — one innovation, one life, and one community at a time.
