The Chief Executive Officer of  Freddie’s Corner, Dr Alfred Korlie Matey, has been honoured for his immense contribution to Ghana’s economy and business culture.

Dr Korlie Matey received his reward during the Presidential Globe African Heroes Honours Award held at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra last Sunday.

His company was also adjudged the best mobile phone dealer for 2019 at the event.

In announcing Dr Korlie Matey as the recipient of the prestigious award, a citation described him as a humanitarian, an esteemed philanthropist as well as an icon for entrepreneurship in the country.
