The House.
One house, two jurisdictions. An operating floor in Accra; a financial floor in Manchester — governed independently, at arm’s length.
One house, two jurisdictions. An operating floor in Accra; a financial floor in Manchester — governed independently, at arm’s length.
A trading house assembled around four decades of West African downstream operating experience.
Casti Energies & Services GH Ltd is the operating arm of the Casti Group on the African continent — the counterparty of record for every trade the House confirms. It was built by principals who have run the region’s downstream from inside it: distribution networks, national strategic stocks, terminal operations and the measurement discipline that underwrites them.
The House holds a deliberately narrow thesis. It trades a defined slate of seven product lines through ports and depots its principals know first-hand, and it confirms nothing it cannot verify at the product. From storage to settlement, the House owns the transaction.
Casti Energies & Services GH Ltd runs the operating floor under Ghanaian law — origination, inventory, and the physical verification of every delivery the House confirms, under National Petroleum Authority licence.
Casti Capital Ltd sits under English law as the Group’s Financial & Petroleum Advisers. Each entity stands on its own balance sheet and is governed independently, at arm’s length.
“Office before officer. Function before name. Record before claim.”The discipline of the House
Three officers hold the executive authority of the Group. Office before officer; record before claim.
Four decades across the West and Central African downstream — Shell’s Africa distribution, Managing Director of Chevron Oil Nigeria, and architect of the framework that restored Ghana’s Strategic Security Stocks. Concurrently CEO of Nenser Petroleum and Senior Advisor to BOST Ghana. He holds the commercial authority of the House: no trade is confirmed without his counterparty judgement behind it.
Second-generation oil. Supply-chain logistics at Manchester and Salford, sharpened at CITAC London. Holds the operational floor — the measurement discipline, the inventory record, and the depot relationships through which the House lifts and stores. Concurrently Chairman & CEO of Casti Capital Ltd, Manchester.
Heads the Department of Compliance, Risk & Governance across a dual-jurisdiction mandate spanning the United Kingdom, Ghana and ECOWAS. Operates with deliberate independence from commercial execution, and holds standing board-level authority to halt, escalate or require remediation of any transaction presenting unacceptable exposure to the House.
