In its 2nd year, The Ghana Property and Lifestyle Expo London, closed this past weekend to much applause, with up to 20 exhibitor’s travelling in from Ghana and attending locally, as well as attendees commuting from across the country in the UK. GPLE London saw more than five hundred people surge through the 4-day expo doors beginning with a Thursday night networking mixer and closing with an informal gathering at Church on Sunday. With the purpose of bridging the gap with the Ghanaian diaspora and educating a broader international audience about the vast opportunities of Ghana’s expanding real estate market, ensured attendees left with indispensable knowledge about making an investment in Ghana and securing their financial future.

From L – R: Anna Agyekum (GPLE Co-founder), Afua Hirsch (Writer, Broadcaster, Best Selling Author), Mr. Kofi Addo (Trade & Investment Minister Ghana High Commission UK), Victoria Agyekum (GPLE Co- founder) and Derrick Cobbinah (Head of Operations at UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce).

Speakers at the event included Mr. Kofi Addo (Trade & Investment Minister Ghana High Commission UK), Anna Owusu-Sekyere from Stanbic Bank, Ms. Ama K Abebrese (Actor, TV Presenter, Producer), Miss Ghana UK, and Anna Agyekum-Wilson & Victoria Agyekum from On Point Property Management Ltd the event’s organisers. Talking points included ideas of economic responsibilities for those living in the diaspora and the importance of community engagement. “I am so incredible glad to be a part of this expo. It’s so important for the diaspora to connect back to their home country, and the Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo helps you to do just that,” Says Mr. Kofi Addo.

Day One opened with an intimate cocktail launch for exhibitors, select V.I.P. guests and a limited number of registrants. The evening began with a transcendent welcome prayer by Father Geoffery Owen of Christchurch and St Stephen Church in Battersea and included free-flowing champagne, wine and beverages alongside delectable gourmet hors d’oeuvres provided by Pestana Hotel House Chef.

Day two saw exhibitors spend quality time with attendees discussing their investment purchase, while day three housed the in-demand live panel discussion and Q&A sessions. Registrants were able to ask important questions while receiving valuable answers to a live audience. “We are delighted with the overall turnout for the entire expo weekend” says Victoria, Co-founder of GPLE. “Both Anna and I are confident that our registrants left with a wealth of knowledge about investing back into Ghana. We are beyond excited for next year and we are already making plans for an even bigger expo.”

Proudly sponsored by Alisa Hotels, Imperial Homes and Stanbic Bank Ghana, future plans for the Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo are already underway and is expected to include Atlanta, GA in the summer of 2019 and returning to London again in the winter. The Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo would like to thank all sponsors, partners, exhibitors and attendees for making GPLE 2018 London an incredible event. Roll on GPLE London 2019.
