Mukesh Vasdev Thakwani Named Executive of the Year at 2025 Ghana Executive Awards

In a momentous recognition of leadership excellence, Mukesh Vasdev Thakwani, founder and CEO of B5 Plus Ltd, has been awarded Executive of the Year at the highly regarded Ghana Executive Awards 2025. This honour reinforces Mr. Thakwani’s instrumental role in driving Ghana’s industrial transformation and regional business leadership.

The award, presented by the Ghana Executive Awards committee and signed by Latif Abubakar, Executive Director of the organising body, acknowledges Mr. Thakwani’s visionary leadership, unwavering commitment to industrial excellence, and his outstanding contribution to job creation and economic empowerment in Ghana.

The crystal trophy and framed certificate, emblazoned with Mr. Thakwani’s portrait and the accolade “2025 Executive of the Year,” are symbolic of a career defined by integrity, innovation, and impact. Under his guidance, B5 Plus Ltd has grown into Ghana’s largest steel manufacturing company, serving not just Ghana but also the broader West African region.

Mr. Thakwani is widely respected for his business acumen, philanthropic values, and his dedication to building a strong indigenous industrial base. The award cements his reputation not only as a business leader, but also as a nation-builder, championing Made-in-Ghana excellence.

This accolade follows closely on the heels of B5 Plus Ghana winning “Indigenous Manufacturing Company of the Year” at the 2025 Ghana Business & Innovation Awards — further validating the group’s holistic leadership and operational strength.

With this dual recognition for both the company and its founder, B5 Plus continues to inspire the next generation of Ghanaian and African industrialists.
