The Chief Executive Officer of J.K Horgle Transport and Company Ltd, a petroleum haulage transportation company in the Republic of Ghana, has been nominated for ‘Petroleum CEO of The Year Award’ at the Ghana Energy Awards scheduled for October 30, 2020.
The awards, scheduled to be held at the plush Movenpick Ambassador Hotel, in Accra, capital of Ghana, will have other CEOs of petroleum institutions such as CEO of GOIL, Kwame Osei Prempeh, CEO of Petrosol Michael Bozumbil, CEO of Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) Senyo Hosi, CEO of Ghana Gas, Dr. Ben K.D Asante, and CEO of Rigworld Group, Kofi Amoa-Abban, battling for the same award.
It will be held under the theme: ‘Excelling In Crisis: The Energy Sector In A Covid-19 Era’.
Mr. J.K Horgle has been in the petroleum haulage transportation business for over 40 years.
Besides his company winning some awards, Mr. Horgle has personally won several industry awards both home and abroad.
In an interview with energynewsafrica.com recently, J.K Horgle said his company retained about 700 workers despite the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic which affected business activities globally.
He indicated that his company decided to maintain all the staff for a good reason.
“On our side, we train our drivers and we spend huge sums of money in training them, especially female tanker drivers. We can’t give them all this training and ask them to go home. We will lose. People even try to poach our drivers because they are well trained,” he said.
