Commenting on the awards, Mr Michael Agbleke, General Manager, Technical, said: “We are very excited that Serene Insurance has yet again been recognised by the most sought-after and credible industry award schemes in the insurance sector.

“We still remain focused on being the preferred insurance partner and institution of choice for our staff, shareholders and customers,” MrAgbleke noted in appreciation to all stakeholders.
