PATRICK QUARCOO RETIRES: RADIO AFRICA STAFF HONOUR FOUNDER WITH FINAL SALUTE

On Wednesday, July 25, Radio Africa founder and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Quarcoo bid farewell after 24 years of service. 

The emotional farewell included heartfelt speeches and photo sessions, as colleagues wished him a happy retirement.

In his farewell address, Quarcoo shared his journey with the media company. “When I started Radio Africa Group in 2000, my vision was to create a platform that could inform, inspire, and connect people across Kenya and the continent.

As I retire, Radio Africa Group is entering a pivotal phase of its journey. This transition provides a unique opportunity for the company to realign its strategies, focusing on cost efficiencies, enhancing our profitability, and advancing our content initiatives,” he said.

Quarcoo expressed his confidence in the future of Radio Africa Group under its new leadership. “I am confident that the new leadership team will drive the needed changes with the same passion and commitment that we have always upheld. They are well-equipped to take the company forward, leveraging our strong foundation to achieve even greater success.

We have grown from a single-frequency radio station to a thriving group of six influential stations with over 40 transmitters across Kenya, with an expansion into Nigeria, a newspaper, and a significant digital presence,” he noted.
