It was glitz and glamour as the 2020 edition of the Ghana Insurance Awards came off on Saturday, August 29. The night of recognition and reward for excellence saw the crème de la crème of the insurance industry converge at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.

In his address, Event Director Richard Abbey stressed that the scheme honours the outstanding performance, professionalism and innovation in the Ghanaian insurance industry; and is informed by data while placing a premium on transparency and being subject to rigorous ethical standards.

“What we do [as event organisers] is try to ensure credibility… This is a very professional industry; we cannot sit back and decide to score people without evidence as the basis,” he stated, adding that the event’s successful staging – which had been rescheduled as a result of the ongoing pandemic – was a triumph for the insurance and event-organising industries.



This was echoed by the Executive Director of CIM Ghana, Kwabena Akuamoah Agyekum, who highlighted the awards industry’s importance to the recovery of other industries. Also present on the night was the CEO of Asante Kotoko Football Club, Nana Yaw Amponsah.
