ARG1 Africa, led by its Founder and CEO Mr. Ronnie Gabby Mattock, has successfully carried
out over 700 projects in Ghana..
In an exclusive interview with PE TV in Accra, Mr Mattock highlighted the company’s efforts in
introducing elevator technology to Ghana, which required importing specialized employees who
gradually acquired the necessary skills over time.
However, he expressed concerns about the absence of a clear policy governing the elevator
business in Ghana. He also emphasized the need for specific credentials and certifications,
questioning who would be responsible for certifying the industry. Due to the vague regulations,
ARG1 Africa took it upon themselves to ensure compliance, but they welcomed the involvement
of the Ghana Standard Authority, which has enhanced the company’s operations.
Mr Mattock also noted the absence of segmented markets within the elevator business in Ghana,
which poses a challenge. He identified two main obstacles faced by the company: a scarcity of
qualified human resources and difficulties in accessing additional funding.
He stressed the importance of building a good reputation, treating people well, and cultivating
relationships with strategic individuals who can provide support in overcoming obstacles.
The company’s achievements, including previous awards at the Ghana Property Awards, were
attributed to the dedication and teamwork of ARG1 Africa. He suggested that the PE Group
organize a meet and greet session to facilitate knowledge sharing and idea exchange among
stakeholders in the property market, rather than a purely ceremonial event. He emphasized the
value of understanding the steps taken by award recipients that go beyond receiving a certificate.
Established in 2010, ARG1 Africa was founded with the aim of addressing challenges in Ghana’s
construction industry.
