The CEO of Multimedia Group, a leading media conglomerate and the first independent media in Ghana, on Saturday hosted his past and present employees as part of the company's 30th anniversary celebrations.

The event was a nostalgic reunion that brought together individuals who played significant roles in shaping the company's history and its current enviable performance and growth in the media industry in Ghana.

The company, which started with Joy FM, now boasts of six FM stations, three television stations, and two online portals.

The meeting was held in the serene beach environment of the Best Western Plus Beach Hotel at Teshie Nungua.

Mr Kwasi Twum, in simple black trousers and a customised Multimedia long-sleeved white shirt, was warmly welcomed by the individuals gathered.

In his opening remarks, he expressed gratitude to the former employees for their contributions to the company's growth and success. "This year, we celebrate not only our 30 years of operation but also the people who gave their best at the time.

The event, which was the first of its kind that the company has organised, was not just a get-together but a celebration of Kwasi Twum’s legacy and gathering of former employees to reminisce about their time at Multimedia Group with the founder.

The event was a historic moment as those workers had not met to fraternise with their Mr Twum in a long time.

Some of the notable among them were Doreen Andoh, the current host of Joy FM’s Midmorning Show, Cosmopolitan Mix, Rev. Azigiza Junior, Kojo Opong Nkrumah, Member of Ofoase Ayirebi constituency, Adwoa Aidoo, Theresa Ayoade, Charles  Mensah, Euginia Takyi Menson, Kofi Owusu, Oswald Mensah, Saforo, Andrews Arkolah, Samuel Tettey Watson, Vincent Lawson, Kingsley Kow Woode, Lawrence Opoku Acheampong, Ivy Heward Mils, Ann Anan, Clemencia Jameh, Gifty Ekyi Quarm, Nii Armah Dagadu, Mawulie Oklu, and Evelyn Owusu Carr.

The CEO, in his opening remarks, expressed gratitude to the former employees for their contributions to the company's growth and success. "Today, we celebrate not only our 30 years of operation but also the people who have been instrumental in our journey," he said.

He said he feels blessed that he got a wonderful team to join him in the very early stages of his company, adding that it wouldn't have been successful without them.

He said his first experience running and managing people was very challenging because he was completely clueless about that.

He disclosed that when he started the company, he saw that he had been surrounded by amazing, complex, crazy, completely clueless young people who caused him sleepless nights and that compelled him to be a teacher, figuring out more workable strategies.

The night provided an opportunity for former employees to share stories about their experiences working at the Multimedia Group.

They recounted memorable moments, challenges they overcame, and the lessons learned during their tenure.

Mr Kwasi Twum reaffirmed the company's commitment to innovation, quality, and excellence, emphasising that the Multimedia Group will continue to strive for greatness in its compelling content to serve its audiences in the years ahead. "As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to our mission of informing, entertaining, and educating our audience," he said.

The event was a testament to the strong bonds formed within the company and the lasting impact of its work. Former employees left with a sense of pride, knowing that their contributions had helped shape the company's legacy.

As Multimedia Group looks to the future, it does so with a deep appreciation for its past and a renewed commitment to excellence.

When the first  Financial Officer, Maxwell Ansah took his turn, he described Mr Kwasi Twum as Ghana’s Ted Turner.

He said Mr Kwasi Twum is a visionary businessman who can turn the fortunes of small companies.
