Zenfibercom: Pioneering Fiber and Telecom Infrastructure in Ghana
Ghana Property and Lifestyle Expo Returns to London
£56 Million Investment to Transform Liverpool Waters with New Homes and Public parks
Zenfibercom is a registered company with the Registrar General and the Ministry of Works and Housing, specialising in fibre and telecom infrastructure and maintenance. As a wholly Ghanaian company, all staff members are Ghanaians, contributing to local employment and expertise.
In an interview with PE TV, the CEO highlighted the company’s commitment to purpose-driven work. All staff undergo routine training to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills for field operations.
When assigned to a job, the team carefully surveys the area, assesses existing power lines and poles, and provides clients with tailored advice. If there are existing poles or fibre, they evaluate whether additional resources are needed and ensure cables are properly tightened to prevent sagging.
The CEO recounted the company’s journey, starting in Kumasi, moving to Nigeria for further studies, and later working in Liberia before returning to Ghana. He noted the challenges faced in obtaining permits from city authorities, which often pose setbacks to operations.
Zenfibercom collaborates with partners in India to source foreign copper and regularly seeks their advice on the latest technologies. The focus on quality and time consciousness allows for punctual service delivery, and there is pride in using world-class technology that minimises loss.
The company has established a reputation for delivering non-returnable products, resulting in high client satisfaction. Clients often refer highly complex tasks, confident in the expertise available.
Services include laying fibre optic cables that connect from cell sites to customer locations, ensuring the provision of all necessary accessories to complete the connection process effectively. In aerial works, cables are attached to poles, keeping them elevated and out of reach.
The team is well-versed in these operations and dedicated to meeting specific requirements.
For locations where cables are laid underground, efficient execution is assured, regardless of the installation method, to provide seamless connectivity.
William Brown, a real estate and land agent in Wenchi, emphasised the importance of using local building materials in Ghana to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
He argued that this shift would lessen the country’s reliance on imports, particularly concrete products, and stimulate the economy by creating job opportunities and decreasing the demand for foreign currencies.
Mr. Brown encouraged Ghanaians to consider materials like burnt bricks, hydroforms, compressed earth bricks, and Adobe bricks for home construction.
He noted that Adobe and compressed earth bricks are already widely used in Northern Ghana and are readily available.
This November, the UK will host the Ghana Property and Lifestyle Expo (GPLE), the largest celebration of African property and lifestyle, on November 9 and 10.
The event serves as a crucial platform for diaspora and international investors to explore opportunities in Ghana’s real estate market, which has been increasingly vibrant since GPLE’s inception in 2017.
This year’s Expo, themed “Diligently Building Wealth Through Ghana Real Estate: The Future of Property Investment,” aims to further connect global investors with Ghana’s expanding property landscape.
HM Treasury has granted final approval for a £56 million investment by Homes England to accelerate the regeneration of a major brownfield site within Liverpool Waters, announced by UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves in today’s budget speech.
This funding aims to create a public park and essential infrastructure for approximately 2,350 new homes, aligning with the government’s goal to build 1.5 million new homes across the UK in the next five years.
The investment pertains to Central Docks, the largest of five neighborhoods in the Liverpool Waters district, which is master-planned by Peel Waters. Liverpool Waters spans over 2km along the River Mersey, with outline planning permission for 60 hectares and projected to attract over £550 million in private investment.
Currently, about £1 billion worth of new developments are underway in Liverpool Waters, including Everton’s new stadium, a district heating network, and over 600 new homes, complementing nearly 1,200 homes already completed. Additionally, a £70 million ferry terminal for the Isle of Man was completed in June.
In July, Liverpool City Council agreed to partner with Homes England to manage the Brownfield Infrastructure Land grant funding for site infrastructure development. The Central Docks scheme is also part of Liverpool’s 20-year waterfront revitalization plan, as identified by the Liverpool Strategic Futures Panel, chaired by Mayor Steve Rotheram.
