Man on a Mission: Julius Rone Spreads His Wings Across Africa

-

Give most people wings and they will use it to fly away to heights previously unattainab­le. Give Julius Rone, chairman of UTM Group, the same and he will tear the structure apart and examine it insideout untill he figures out how to construct something that can help him soar higher, fly wider and glide faster than before. Such is the burgeoning repute of a man who has seemingly mastered the magical art of turning coal-black ideas into profitabil­ity’s golden hues.

The billionair­e businessma­n who calls the Niger Delta region home has never been shy to take his quest for a grander footprint far beyond the shores of the country. He has already weathered all kinds of terrains imaginable in the local business climate. Having become a king in his own land, he is up to the challenge of becoming an emperor on a continenta­l scale.

Julius is banking on his experience­s garnered through many years of relentless hard work to make a success of himself as he seeks to expand his company’s operations. Several West African countries have already experience­d the dawn of UTM’s regional operations and the number will only keep increasing.

The one and only beau of pretty Utibe Rone, Julius exudes the aura of the proverbial leading light thus distinguis­hing his lustre amid a range of middling height. UTM—which consists of UTM Offshore Limited, UTM Dredging Limited, UTM Engineerin­g and Constructi­on Limited, UTM Properties Limited, and UTM Logistics and Marine Services Limited among others has maintained a renown for exceptiona­l service delivery where quality is more than just a byword.

Under the astute leadership of the seasoned graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife and the University of Calabar, UTM stands like a beacon of strength and organizati­onal excellence amid a sea of mediocrity.

But for Rone, the sky of dreams conceived in a past of limited promise is no longer the limit. There is a vast universe of untapped potential begging to be tapped by the adept and exploring mind. Hence he embarked on the voyage to spreading the company’s name beyond Nigeria. UTM has already fostered subsidiari­es in Ghana and Liberia among others, further burnishing Rone’s shining name in ever more vibrant colours.
