From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leadership

Founded in 2013 as a family-run business in the UK, First Klass Shipping has grown exponentially to become a household name in Ghana under the brand World Klass Shipping Specialist.

Specializing in seamless door-to-door delivery from the UK to Ghana, the company has revolutionized the shipping experience, offering faster, safer, and cost-effective services.

With the launch of its first ultra-modern warehouse in Accra in December 2021, and now this Kumasi facility, First Klass Shipping continues to expand its footprint while prioritizing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

A Testament to Community and Innovation

Mr. Obeng emphasized the company’s commitment to giving back, highlighting its impactful corporate social responsibility initiatives.

These include the construction of an ultra-modern public toilet facility in Atwedie, Asante Akyem South District, and ongoing support for orphanages.

The Kumasi facility symbolizes both opportunity and growth, with features designed to enhance the customer experience and streamline operations.

A Heartfelt Thank You

The CEO took a moment to appreciate the team and stakeholders who made the project possible.

"To our construction team, our landlord Nana, our incredible staff, and our loyal customers—thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we will achieve even greater things," he stated.

Looking Ahead

As the ribbon was cut, attendees celebrated not only the opening of a building but the beginning of a new chapter for First Klass Shipping.

"This milestone inspires us to embrace opportunities ahead with confidence and determination," the CEO concluded, extending warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

With the new Kumasi facility, First Klass Shipping solidifies its position as the fastest-growing shipping company connecting the UK and Ghana, continuing to lead with innovation, community focus, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
