Musa Sanneh, Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Leigh Properties, described investment especially in building materials as lucrative and thriving in the country, adding that it creates employment and enhances quality delivery in the area of construction.

“Our main area of investment is to create employment for youth and to eradicate unemployment in the country,” he stated.

Kaddijatou Bah, senior marketing manager of Leigh Properties said investing in businesses has been their long-term plan and that their coming into the scene is to satisfy customers in all areas.

“We sold two estates in less than one year because of the trust and confidence people have in us,” she said.

Established in June 2018 by Musa Leigh, Leigh Properties started operations with eight staff and today, the company is one of the fastest-rising players in the building construction sector.
