Meet Edward Osei Boakye, the visionary entrepreneur behind Ghana's first-ever mattress factory

Born to a wealthy family in May 1933, Boakye's father passed away when he was still young. Undeterred by this setback, he pursued his education at Baldwin-Wallace College in Ohio, then returned to Ghana in 1959 to establish the United Mattress and Foam Company Ltd at the age of 26.
