Focus One Group, from humble beginnings to a thriving conglomerate, the company’s journey is a testament to hard work, determination, and visionary leadership.
Founded by CEO Kwame Adu-Mante, Focus 1 Group’s story began in 2003. As a construction student, Kwame was already juggling multiple ventures, including building drains in Kumasi and selling goods in the market.
His entrepreneurial spirit and passion for radio also led him to work part-time at noble radio station Skyy power FM in Takoradi while schooling at Takoradi Technical University.
The company’s early years focused on construction, with notable projects including building houses, private works, and even cocoa warehouses in Western, Central, and Ashanti Regions. This foundation laid the groundwork for the company’s future growth.
In 2006, Focus 1 Group expanded into distribution, partnering with reputable brands like SC Johnson and Benny’s Spices. His wife, Mrs. Evelyn Adu-Mante, joined the company, bringing her banking expertise to help establish branches in Kumasi, Accra, and Takoradi.
The company’s media arm, Focus 1 Media, was born in 2007 when Kwame Adu-Mante, then just 27 years old, took on the challenge of managing a Takoradi-based radio station called Radio Max. This marked the beginning of Focus One Media’s remarkable journey.
Today, Focus 1 Media boasts of an impressive portfolio, including Spice FM, Pluzz FM in Accra, and Orange FM in Kumasi. The company’s dedicated team, led by General Manager Kojo AmoakoNzoley, has been instrumental in driving its success.
As Focus1 Group celebrates its milestones, Kwame Adu-Mante’s story serves as a reminder that success is built on hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to take calculated risks. The company’s commitment to excellence and community development continues to inspire and empower individuals across Ghana.
