NAIROBI, Kenya- Ghanaian entrepreneur and CEO of Modern Floors & Walls, Basil David Anthony, has been named the Most Influential Décor & Interior Solutions Entrepreneur of the Year 2025, in recognition of his leadership in Africa’s interior finishing and construction solutions industry.
The award was presented at the 16th Ghana Entrepreneurs Awards held at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra on Saturday, April 25, 2026, by the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Ghana, which cited his innovation, strategic vision, and contribution to advancing modern flooring and interior finishing standards across the continent.
Following the recognition, Modern Floors & Walls has announced plans to expand into East Africa, with Kenya identified as a key entry market.
The company will introduce its UK-trademarked product range, including SPC flooring and wall panels, luxury vinyl tiles, carpets, waterproof paints, and construction chemicals designed to address durability, moisture resistance, and long-term maintenance challenges in modern construction.
The firm is not new to the Kenyan market, having previously showcased its solutions at Kenya Buildcon, where it engaged developers, contractors, and industry stakeholders.
That engagement, according to the company, helped refine its understanding of local market needs and reinforced its decision to deepen its regional presence.
As part of its rollout, Modern Floors & Walls is preparing to introduce SPC wall panels, SPC click-lock flooring, LVT solutions, carpets, waterproof coating systems, and construction chemicals tailored for residential, commercial, and hospitality developments.
Developers and contractors will also benefit from access to product catalogues and samples to support project planning and execution.
The company is also finalising plans to open a major showroom in Nairobi in the coming weeks, strategically located along a key commercial corridor, marking a significant milestone in its East Africa expansion strategy.
Basil David Anthony said the expansion reflects a broader ambition to strengthen intra-African trade and position African-led brands as global competitors.
He noted that the company’s growth strategy will focus on innovation, partnerships, and skills development to support improved construction finishing standards across the region.
Modern Floors & Walls operates in Ghana and the UAE and specialises in modern flooring, waterproofing, and interior finishing solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, with a focus on durability, design, and performance.
