Old Mutual, a leading life insurance and pensions
trust company, joins forces with the Ghana-Sweden Chamber of Commerce, a
non-profit organization that ensures significant and progressive partnerships
between Ghana and Sweden, to hold a networking cocktail event with the members
of the chamber at the Holiday Inn in Accra.
The event is part of the many initiatives that Old
Mutual has planned this year to solidify its vision of being the customers’
first choice to sustain, grow and protect their prosperity. To entrench that
vision and position itself as a lifestyle brand, Old Mutual has embarked on
very strategic partnerships and collaborations to creatively gain new
businesses and provide the utmost value to retain existing customers, hence the
event with the Ghana-Sweden Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber comprises members and corporates of high
standards and good reputations in their respective industries. Old Mutual was
privileged to engage, network, and build valuable connections with the audience
while introducing its Corporate/Group life, pension trust plans, and innovative
retail/investment offerings to them.
“We
are excited to host this inaugural cocktail event as this year marks our 10th
anniversary and over 178 years globally. As a business, we have done a lot of
ground-breaking projects, such as being the first to launch WhatsApp insurance
and a retirement salary product, among others, and they have been very
successful through strategic partnerships like these. We see a crossroads of
opportunities between Old Mutual and the Ghana-Sweden Chamber of Commerce and
are looking forward to many more initiatives together," Group Chief Executive Officer, Tavona Biza added.
Nickie Akorsa, the Consular-General of the Chamber,
spoke of innovation, sustainability, and gender equality as the main strengths
of Sweden and the fact that there’s room for collaboration on those fronts.
The eventful night ended with Emma Ocansey, the Head
of Distribution at Old Mutual, reiterating the business’ number one position
within the corporate space in the insurance industry and going on to mention big
corporate guns like Asanko, Ecobank, Fidelity, and many others as active
clients.
“We
have very unique and tailored solutions that suit your companies as well as
your employees to enable them to provide the utmost value needed for growth as
you give them the peace of mind to commit to your business,” she added.
The Ghana-Sweden Chamber of Commerce is committed to
promoting commercial, economic, educational, and cultural relations between
Ghana and Sweden. Its focus on Social Enterprise initiatives, dubbed the Green
Economy Ghana, sponsored by the European Union (EU), has seen over 600 youth/adults
through plastic waste management, mushroom production, snail farming training,
among others.
Old Mutual Ghana believes that engaging in
partnerships that position Ghana positively is key and considers the
collaboration with the chamber relevant. With the 10-year celebration underway,
the business encourages the general public to look out for more innovative
initiatives in the coming months.
