LEXCEL Group, the parent company of Grand Oak, Nigeria Distilleries Limited and others, has launched an in-house publication known as Aspire as a medium to showcase the giant strides achieved by its subsidiaries over the years.

The maiden edition of all coloured–glossy Aspire magazine was unveiled to the audience and members of the companies at a cocktail event held recently at Protea Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.

Speaking at the event, the Editor of the magazine and Category Manager of Grand Oak Limited, Mr. Charles Nnochiri said the publication is to inform the general public of the accomplishments of the companies under Lexcel Group in their quests to attaining world-class status.

He added that “Through this medium, we hope to keep everyone informed on the happenings in our individual companies and to ensure that the strong resilient spirit of oneness we advocate with our slogan – Together we win- is sustained.

“I am sure a lot of you will ask why Aspiration? Positive aspiration is what keeps the world going. Growth comes from desire, especially for something great or of a high value. Therefore, this magazine is a call to action designed to spur every reader to that next, higher phase.”
