Brief Profile of Gertrude Kunde-Kwallinjam
Gertrude Kunde-Kwallinjam is an entrepreneur and the founder of Smockyworld Limited. Her business prowess has led her into rebranding Gonja, Yendi, Bolga, Wa and Burkina smock materials for different wears other than just a smock, and this nouveau fashion style has caught
on around the country and influenced many other brands.

Smockyworld is a one-stop fashion centre with access to a variety of quality, original high-end hand-woven and hand-dyed smock fabrics from the north of Ghana (Gonja-land, home of the “fugu”/northern cloth), as well as modern-styled, ready-to-wear apparel and accessories made
from these rich fabrics. Smockyworld is dedicated to providing an ensemble of fashion items to clients from all over the world that will enable them connect to rich Ghanaian (northern) history, make meaningful use of their own unique and modern tastes for fashion, and feel high self-
confidence when they appear in any environment.

Gertrude has had an enviable banking career which started with Intercontinental Bank (now Access bank), and her hard work earned her the role of Branch Manager seven years ago with Fidelity Bank. She is not only an award winning Banker after bagging the Fidelity Orange Award on multiple occasions, but has always demonstrated a sense of astute customer service since her days at McDonalds in the United Kingdom in 2007, where she was duly recognized.
