The 4th edition of the Ghana Insurance Awards has been held in Accra to honour more than 30 insurance companies and individuals from various categories.
Read full articleThe annual ceremony came off on Friday August 27, 2021, at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel to also celebrate the achievements and standards in the insurance industry and its key players.
The awards and dinners night which was organised by Xodus Communication forms part of efforts since its inception in 2018 to reward insurance firms who have diligently excelled in the sector.
Some categories of awards that were won for the night went to life and non-life companies, re-insurers, brokerage firms, and other intermediaries, health insurers, actuarial firms, and other insurance service providers.
Richard Abbey Jnr., Chief Event Director of Xodus Communication, said the rationale behind this year's awards night was themed on promoting the growth of the industry through progressive competition, innovation and adherence to standards.
In an interaction with GhanaWeb, Abbey called on key players in the insurance industry to embark on prudent educational and sensitisation programmes with the public on the benefits of insurances and its associated products in order to drive insurance penetration which is currently low in Ghana.
