Green Diamond Estates was the next venture a few years later, engaged in the building and managing of multi-unit high end full-service residential enclaves including Aspect Court. Kofi’s most recent venture is HealthiLife Beverages Ltd. with a spec built and managed Tetra Pak food processing facility which has quickly created and established relished juice, milk and energy drink brands including Go! Xtra, Pure Milk and Gluconade. The HealthiLife plant is also already a contract manufacturing concern for some of the world’s biggest multinational drink brands. To date HealthLife remains arguably the largest indigenous privately owned and managed food manufacturing facility built at an estimated 40 million dollars. The facility, too big for just the local market, now has offices and distribution throughout West Africa including Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone and counting. Intensely engaged personally in the initiatives, direction and leadership of his business, Kofi brings his calm, persistent, constantly-learning self to bear on all the businesses. His steady hands direct these businesses that are built to last from the current direct staff strength of over a thousand to businesses with unlimited potential.
