Maxwell Investments Group, Dr. Maxwell Ampong Win Top Honours at Ghana Shippers Awards 2025

Maxwell Investments Group (MIG) and its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Maxwell Ampong, emerged among the major winners at the Ghana Shippers Awards 2025, held at the Labadi Beach Hotel, Accra.

MIG was named ‘Promising Freight Forwarding and Custom House Agent of the Year’, while Dr. Ampong received the ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award, positioning the organisation and its leadership at the centre of this year’s discussions on innovation within Ghana’s maritime and logistics value chain.

The awards ceremony, themed “Blue Ideas, Bold Moves: Innovating Ghana’s Maritime Value Chain,” brought together stakeholders from shipping, ports, customs, logistics, trade finance, and policy. It highlighted a growing realisation that logistics performance, regulatory discipline, and operational coordination are now strategic economic issues rather than back-office concerns.

Industry observers note that Maxwell Investments Group’s recognition signals a broader shift within Ghana’s freight and customs sector. Increasingly, success is judged not only by speed or volume but also by compliance practices, documentation accuracy, and the capacity to operate smoothly across borders.

In a sector often characterised by fragmented processes and regulatory friction, the Group has focused on developing structured systems that prioritise predictability and transparency. According to industry analysts, this approach aligns with the evolving expectations of global trade partners, especially as Ghana positions itself as a logistics hub within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Dr. Maxwell Ampong’s ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award was framed less as a personal accolade and more as recognition of enterprise-building within complex, highly regulated environments. Logistics entrepreneurship, unlike consumer-facing ventures, requires long-term capital discipline, institutional trust, and deep engagement with public sector stakeholders.

As Ghana continues to expand port capacity and deepen trade integration, stakeholders assert that the next phase of growth will rely less on infrastructure alone and more on operational competence across the entire value chain. In this context, the 2025 Ghana Shippers Awards represent a recalibration of what excellence in shipping and logistics now means.
