Vanguard Awards

THIRTY-EIGHT-year-old Daniel Teye has been adjudged the overall best agent in the 2008 maiden awards programme by Vanguard Assurance Company Ltd. He took home a laptop.
Two other persons who contributed immensely to raise the standard of the company were recognised and rewarded in different categories for their selfless dedication and hard work.
Mr Prosper Sappah, the first runner-up, won for himself a desk-top computer, while the second runner-up, Mr James E. N.T. Laryea, took home a double-door refrigerator.
Mr Teye has generated a premium income of GH¢ 306,997.94, which earned the company profit for the over three years that he has been with the company.
The acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Gideon Amenyedor, who made the presentation at a ceremony in Accra last Wednesday, said the hard work and professionalism displayed by agents such as Mr Teye had enabled the company to achieve recognition nation-wide, adding that the management would continue to assist members of staff who got the opportunity to be pushed to the next level of their professions.
He said Mr Teye had consistently performed in his job since he joined the company three years ago.
“Vanguard Assurance places premium on training its members of staff to enable them to improve their efficiency and pass on excellent services to its clients,” Mr Amenyedor stated, and expressed the hope that the awards would motivate the rest of the staff to work harder to improve their skills.
For his part, the Agency Manager, Mr Joe Ala Adjetey-Din, said the company rewarded its cherished agents for the paramount role they played in the attainment of the company’s objectives.
“Notwithstanding the numerous challenges that our agents are encumbered with in the discharge of their duties, they have shown unimaginable latitude of tenacity, loyalty and, above all, excellent performance over the years,” Mr Adjetey-Din noted.
