CEO's Statement
Lionstone Group operates across the West Africa Region, where recent macro-economic and geo-political trends such as strong commodity prices, stabilizing currencies, reduction in inflationary trends, and a movement towards free markets, open democratic societies as well as reduction in conflict zones have led to significant economic growth and increased foreign direct investment in the region.
Concurrently and consequently, the region continues to experience renewed investor confidence, significant wealth creation, a growing economic middle class and cast improvement in telecommunication infrastructure linkages between individual country economics.
It is in this contemporary West Africa that the Lionstone Group was founded and has elected to focus its business activities by bringing together superior access to market, financial and intellectual capital as well as world class strategy development and flawless execution. Lionstone has built, and continues to grow a business platform that operates across carefully selected business sectors. Our investments are typically based on deep and thorough thinking around the potential opportunities within the sector for our region.
At Lionstone Group, our goal is to build a world class company and provide an exciting place for the best people to thrive and believe that we can contribute to the transformation and improvement of Africa and the lives of its residents by undertaking projects that will improve the lives of people resident in the region.
