Accra: Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has inaugurated the Board of Directors of G-Water Bottling Limited and tasked it to position the company as a leading bottled water brand. The move forms part of GWL's strategy to diversify its revenue streams, strengthen business operations, and create sustainable value through investments beyond its core mandate of potable water production and distribution.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Eric J. Biliguo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of GWL, made the call at the inauguration ceremony in Accra. He described G-Water Bottling Limited, a subsidiary of GWL established to manufacture, package, and distribute drinking water, as a key component of the company's long-term growth strategy.
Mr. Biliguo stated that the G-Water brand had earned public confidence due to its quality, purity, and taste but had yet to realize its full commercial potential because of limited market availability. Mr. Adam Mutawakilu, Managing Director of GWL, highlighted that the establishment of the subsidiary presented an opportunity for the company to leverage its expertise in water production and quality assurance to compete effectively in Ghana's bottled water industry.
He also noted that the company was expected to generate additional revenue, strengthen the Ghana Water brand, create employment opportunities, and contribute to national economic development. Mr. Agbesi Nutsu, Chairman of the Board of G-Water Bottling Limited, pledged the Board's commitment to providing strategic leadership and effective oversight to ensure the growth and sustainability of the company.
Mr. Nutsu emphasized that the Board recognized the company's establishment not only as a commercial enterprise but also as a strategic subsidiary of Ghana Water Limited with responsibility for manufacturing, packaging, and distributing safe, reliable, and high-quality drinking water. Other Board members include Dr. Hadisu Alhasan, Executive Director; Mr. Sulemana Alhassan and Mr. Joseph Zefo Kero, Non-Executive Directors; and Madam Innocentia Kuupiel, Chief Executive Officer.
