The Business

Godfrey I. was born and raised in Nigeria. He came to Greece in 1998, after getting his degree in computer science. While in Greece, he started working as a roving salesman in the field of electronics.

In 2001, he opened up a “phone services shop/international call center” with a friend. Later on, they were able to expand this business by adding internet services and became a Moneygram agent store. Unfortunately, the government shut them down because, at the time, they were not able to provide all necessary legal documents for their business.

After their business got shut down, Godfrey started working on anything he could get his hands on. During this time, he gathered all the equipment and excitement needed to implement his vision for a new business.

In 2015, Godfrey started up his own internet services & accessories and Western Union store! “Global International Services” is located in Athens City Center, a neighborhood where many locals and foreigners reside too. 

His future plans include updating his store with a gaming room and equipment and cooperating with insurance companies to provide insurance services for cars and motorbikes.
