Well-known for his friendly and professional character, unique sense of humour and his infectious laugh, Yaw K. Mamphey joined Accra City Hotel as the Head of Sales & Marketing in January 2016.

Mr. Mamphey took to the stage to claim his award, and deliver a speech to attendees. Speaking after the ceremony ended, Mr. Mamphey said, “I was delighted to be among the winners this year. It’s been a big four years at Accra City Hotel, and we’ve gone through a real transition and to be recognised with an award is a great honour. I am very fortunate to have a very talented team of people, who have a diverse but complementary skill-set. Apart from our ambition to be the best in the hospitality industry and increase market share, we also have a strong culture within the team of collaboration and the embracing of new ideas.”
