The Insurance Association of Guyana (IAG) at an intimate gathering on Friday, November 23, 2018 honoured four of its longstanding insurance stalwarts for their contribution to Guyana’s Insurance Sector.
Honoured were Mr Bishwa Panday, Mr Errol Cheong, Mr James Morgan and Mr Howard Cox.
Bishwa Panday of P and P Insurance began his journey with insurance in 1974 at GTM, moving on to Hand in Hand and finally co-founding P&P Insurance Brokers & Consultants Ltd.
Under his stewardship, P&P has built a formidable reputation as a first-class insurance brokerage and was honoured in 2017 by the Gafoors Group of Companies for its excellent support and claims service. The honour followed the two fires which gutted their premises leading to Guyana’s single largest ever fire claim.
Mr Howard Cox has been in the insurance industry for 45 years, also starting out at GTM and later moving on to Hand in Hand where he continues to serve with distinction, dedication and commitment as the Director.
Errol Cheong boasts a career in insurance spanning over 59 years. In 1966, he was one of the founding members of IAG and in 1983 was appointed as the Managing Director of GTM. In 1988 he was honoured with the Golden Arrow of Achievement.
Mr James Morgan is currently the Company Secretary of DEMLIFE, serving with distinction for over 46 years. His commitment and loyalty to the growth and development of Guyana’s oldest Life Insurance Company has made the company proud.
IAG, an umbrella organisation representing all insurance companies in Guyana, has served the country for over 50 years. It opened its first office in 2017 and was one of the vocal proponents of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill.
