Voltic Ghana Limited has held a one-day financial experience for its customers as part of activities to end their month of finance.
About 50 customers drawn from their wholesalers, retailers and distributers, were taken through lessons in daily book keeping, SME Insurance policies ad pension fund options.
Speaking in an interview with The Finder after the event, Country Finance Manager of Voltic, Rev. Daniel Torvinyo, said the Voltic Finance Month was aimed at educating employees and customers on basics of personal finance.
He added that it was also aimed at equipping them with relevant skills that will help them make prudent financial decisions for themselves, families and businesses.
“Understanding there is financial implications for every action, Voltic is empowering the business that help place our brands in the hands of every consumer in Ghana to financially conscious, contributing to the long term sustainability of our business.
“Our goal today would be achieved if these businesses go on to expand, sustain and cushion themselves for the future through some of these laudable insurance policies and pensions’ funds they have been exposed to,” he mentioned.
Rev. Torvinyo also stated that Voltic is not threatened by the influx of bottled water in the country as they continue to enjoy 70 per cent of the market share.
Ms Lesly Adjei Mensah, one of the participants, who spoke to the paper, applauded Voltic for the initiative to educate their clients on how to manage their finances and take hold of the future.
She said she was enlightened on how to manage her finances and not just to concentrate on the marketing aspect of the business and called on management to organise such discourse quarterly.
She said it will give them an opportunity to network with other clients and create bonds to expand their businesses.
She however expressed her disappointment on how SMEs are not united but added that steps are been taken correct it.
