“At Hollard, we believe in enabling more people to create and secure a better future. So, through these community-focused public engagements, we are helping to make insurance less daunting and more a part of our daily lives. Little by little, we will increase insurance penetration in the country,” she added.
The Chairman of 37 Trotro Station, Mr. James Addo, urged drivers and passengers to take advantage of insurance policies for a secure future. He also congratulated the management of Hollard Ghana for their initiative to educate the drivers on the need for insurance to lessen their financial burden during unforeseen circumstances.
