George Boahene, a 41-year-old taxi driver on Thursday walked away with one of the seven brand new Hyundai Grand i10 taxis which were put up by Vivo Energy Ghana as
reward for customers who have been loyal to the company by patronizing Shell branded products and services throughout the year.
Ecstatic looking Boahene who was accompanied by some relations to the Tema General Hospital Road Shell Filing station, venue for the presentation ceremony, was presented with keys to the brand new car by Mr Jerry Boachie-Danquah, Marketing Manager of Vivo Energy Ghana and Mr Joseph Vincent, Sales and Marketing Manager, Hyundai Motors and Investments (Ghana) Limited.
In an interview with The Finder shortly after the presentation, Mr Boahene said he initially thought it was a prank being played on him when he received a phone call from Vivo Energy Ghana informing him about being the first lucky winner for the company’s promotion which is dubbed ‘Shell Filling Y3 Deep Promo Reloaded (Taxi Bonanza) which was launched on October 1.
“Honestly I just did not believe it when I was told on the phone that I am the lucky winner of one brand new Hyundai Taxi given to loyal customers of the company. I had to confirm the authenticity of the news about me being a winner by visiting a Shell filing station at Dansoman where the manager said it is truth that I am a winner of one of seven taxis to be won. Truth is I have been buying my fuel from Shell for several years. I cannot express how happy I am to have emerged as the first winner for one of the seven taxis to be given away” Boahene remarked.
Asked what becomes of the taxi he was driving before becoming a proud owner of a Hyundai Grand i10 taxi, Boahene responded that he was yet to decide on that and added that the taxi he drives belongs to his mother.
