About CADS Contract & Services


CADS Contract & Services (C&S) is a wholly Ghanaian owned company providing corporate services across a range of industries. CADS has been in operation since 1995 and currently operates three main subsidiaries namely; CADS Developers Limited, CADS Catering Services Limited and CADS Facilities Limited.

Established in 1995 by Christopher Hesse-Tetteh, a seasoned businessman, CADS began as a construction firm specialised in the construction of buildings and roads. The company carried out various notable projects, including the construction of the CADS twin tower office blocks off the George Bush Highway in Accra. Today we operate solely in Ghana, offering a range of customised services to multinational corporations including Tullow Oil, Ghana Exim Bank and Deloitte & Touche.

Over the years, the company has taken great strides to elevate its business operating standards to international levels. We participated in the Seed Transformation Program organised by Stanford University, and are certified by TRACE and four major standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). We have also expanded our service offering to include facility management, renovation and refurbishment, cleaning and security services.
