Quick Angels CEO Refutes Dominion Paints Claims, Details $2.5m Investment and Ownership Structure

  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quick Angels Limited, Emmanuel Lamptey, has strongly rejected allegations made by a shareholder of Dominion Paint Manufacturers, insisting that the company’s ownership and management decisions followed due process under a joint venture agreement. Speaking in an interview, Lamptey explained that Quick Angels entered into a joint venture with Dominion Paints in 2019 after the company’s founder, Stephen Komla Adom, sought investment support. According to him, the original shareholding structure—60 percent held by Adom and 40 percent by his then wife—was significantly diluted after Quick Angels injected capital into the business.

He noted that the investment went beyond the initial US$300,000 requested by Adom, explaining that additional capital was required af...
