Mr Quaye gave the advice last week when he paid a working visit to Gold Coast Food Herbs and Spices, also known as Sankofa Natural Spices at Gomoa in the Central Region, one of the partner brands of Quick Angels, an angel investor based in Accra, Ghana.
He said continuous innovation had made the brands under the Quick Angels umbrella to be competitive and expressed the hope that they will continue to be among the few to challenge the status quo.
"You always have to have ways to face the fall,” Mr Quaye said.
Essence

Commendation
