“I recall being in meetings where the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) and State Insurance Company now SIC company discussed the formation of a joint venture company to handle the professional management of existing and prospective property portfolios. They also saw opportunities in the management of both private and public sector portfolios”.

Broll Ghana is a joint venture founded by institutional shareholders, Broll Property Group of South Africa, Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) and SIC company in 2006.

Giving the keynote address, the CEO of Broll Ghana, Tony Sekyere, stated that the company was founded in 2006 to address the lack of maintenance culture in the real estate industry, and it has evolved into a multi-disciplinary professional service firm.

“As our Board Chairman said, these three corporate entities; Broll Property Group of South Africa, Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), and SIC, joined hands, signed a joint venture agreement and Broll Ghana was born. The aim of the creation that we see today was to have an organisation that could deliver an integrated and professional approach to real estate services and address the lack of maintenance culture we had in the system at the time, and also offer to the market a full spectrum of property related services.”

“On commencement, we had two main services, which was property management and facility management and overtime we have introduced other service lines and now Broll Ghana is multi-disciplinary professional service firm providing services in core areas in shopping centre management, property broking, corporate real estate valuation & advisory, market research, facilities management and property management,” he added.

“Our current market faces several disruptive trends, by way of the current pandemic and digital transformation that is currently in our space and seeks to transform the way we do our business. And it is in this regard that I am proud to say our next phase will be underpinned by a digital and online transformation that we will use to do our work, and we will now see in the near future the introduction of the new aspect of our bespoke management software, Broll Advantage, and it will raise the technology bar to a new level of transparency, flexibility, cost-saving and value creation to a level we have never seen before.”
