Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho
The accounts officer of the Graphic Communications
Group Limited, Mr Alexis Asiunura has said the company
is poised to pursuing modern business practices and
called for fair partnership with its agents and
vendors to attain a higher pedestal for mutual
advantage.
He therefore said it is pertinent for the company to
foster interactive sessions with its publics in order
to share and review ideas and tap new and emergent
ones for the growth of the company.
Mr Asiunura said this when he addressed a
get-together for vendors and agents drawn from the
Volta region under the Volta/ Eastern zone of the
company in Ho last weekend.
He said the get together clearly underscored the
objectives adding, thus, “you are partners and we
don’t take you for granted”.
He urged them to acknowledge the recognition for them
and behave as good partners saying that a proposal had
been made to management for the institution of awards
to vendors and agents on several levels.
He said the same standard will not be set for all but
to be classified on small scale level on regional and
zonal levels.
Replying to their grievances on lateness and
shortages of newspapers, Mr Asiunura said the serious
problem on shortages had been taken note of and
assured them that the problem is expected to be
resolved when a new modern machine is procured next
year.
He further said the new machine will print faster to
avoid late delivery and poor packaging which had led
to shortages.
He however advised them to avoid the late payment for
sales to the company declining that a suggestion for
monthly payment was not feasible.
In an address, the zonal manager, Mrs Catethrine
Ablorh said the work of the vendors was highly
appreciated and urged them to improve on it.
She deplored the allegation that some of them
connived with drivers and bought newspapers from them
and in turn declared them as unsold copies to the
company adding that such negative practices may lead
to the collapse of an enterprise which may eventually
keep them out of business.
Mrs Ablorh implored them to rather explore for
avenues for business growth and that they should make
themselves available on days stipulated for collection
to avoid waste and accumulation of debts.
In a welcoming address, the regional editor and the
acting regional officer, Mr Tim Dzamboe advised them
to strategise by earmarking eventful days to increase
marketing of more newspapers.
Speaking on behalf of the vendors, the Kpedze agent,
Mr Joe Senyo Gbena thanked the company for the honour
done them and that they were recognized as part of the
success story of the company was heartwarming and
pledged faithfulness and loyalty to the company.
The chairman of the function, Mr Ernest Asante who is
the regional manager of the New Times Corporation said
vendors and agents were cherished and indispensable to
newspaper business but that should not make them
swollen headed.
