She said, “Since Latex Foam’s inception, that is about 50 years now, we have been partners with them in our business. They have always been at our beck and call. For every promotion that we run, Graphic is a major stakeholder. So, we only thought it wise and homely enough to be our neighbour’s keeper by coming to their aid and sponsoring this anniversary. It is a happy day for us. We wish them all the best, and we pray that they continue to be the trailblazer that they are. For us, Graphic is home and Latex Foam is a partner.”
On his part, the Corporate Communications Manager of GCGL, Emmanuel Agyei Arthur, expressed the company’s profound gratitude to Latex Foam.

“We thank Latex Foam for this donation. We very much appreciate what they have done because it is an opportunity for one to reinvigorate the relationship that we’ve had with them over the years and also for them to show that they care about us. They want us to continue to be in business by ensuring that our staff are not contracting this deadly disease. We also thank them for contributing to the celebration of our 70th anniversary. This is a milestone that we very much cherish.”
He continued, “On daily basis, our reporters have to go out, and they will have to be protected. So this is a gift that we need. We also have a clinic. What it means is that, our clinic staff will also need protection as they meet on daily basis. And so this is a gift that has come at an opportune time.”
