Recently, management, staff, agents and brokers of NAGICO Insurances gathered in a private setting to toast to their 30th anniversary, which has seen a small local insurance office evolve into one of the largest regional insurance companies with offices across 18 territories.
The gathering was personal and low-key beginning with a brief message by the Group C.E.O who reminisced about the journey of NAGICO from February 1, 1982 when their doors first opened, until now 30 years later. Group Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Michael Bishop, also addressed the gathering with congratulatory remarks.
Imran McSood-Amjad: "We have come a long way, we started out with just a handful of us in a very small office," he explained. "When NAGICO first opened its doors, we faced several challenges, we were up against giants of the industry and we were a new company who no one knew much about. It was years before brokers and agents decided to do business with NAGICO. It was hard work and dedication that got us this far."
"During the 30 years, we have seen our fair share of catastrophe losses with at least 13 storms, ranging from category 1 to category 5, a volcano, small earthquakes and small to large fires and other losses. We have weathered these losses exceptionally well and developed a reputation for fast and fair claims settlement."
Despite this success, McSood urged his staff to continue to excel academically, to be service minded and courteous to their brokers and agents and most of all, to their clients.
To mark this success, the attendees raised their glasses followed by the symbolic cutting of the cakes. The event was held in the newly renovated, state of the art customer service area at the corporate head office in Philipsburg.
