This has been in terms of the strides we have made in the industry; the awareness and visibility we have created, the products we rolled out, the awards we won and the levels to which we have driven our various stakeholder engagement efforts.”

For the past three years, we have worked at being a more close-knit family with greater understanding and an increased willingness to have each other’s back. Each year has offered an improvement, with 2021 giving a strong indication of how closely we are working together and how proud we are of our brand. In a year that COVID-19 hit many businesses hard, God kept us going and kept us alive. We are grateful.”
