Demerara Fire and General Insurance Limited marked its 30th anniversary with a celebration at the Marriott Hotel, Georgetown on November 4th.
The company, which provides Motor and Fire Insurance policies, was incorporated on November 24, 1992, and opened its doors to the public on July 1, 1993. A release from the company said that its range of products has since expanded to include Liability, Marine and Aviation policies.
Manager of Demerara Fire and General, Asha Ojha, said that over the past three decades, the company has become a shining example of fair dealings and integrity within the insurance industry.
She said, “Through our vision to develop, promote and sustain a
customer-focused organization, DemFire has provided our valued policyholders with the peace of mind that theirs is a company that keeps their best interest close at heart. We sell insurance through the assurance that we will deliver every time. This is reflected in our proven track record of fast, efficient, and fair claim settlements.”
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society, Melissa DeSantos, reflected on her 10-year journey with the company. She also recognised several individuals that have been with the company for extended periods.
The CEO added: “This event is not just about us – this is about celebrating the partnerships with you our regulators, brokers, and policyholders – who continue to put your trust in us to provide the best service with quality insurance cover. We could not have gotten here without you and, of course, our staff who continue to give their best to ensure the smooth functioning of the company.”
The release said that the Demerara Fire and General Insurance was birthed from Guyana’s first life insurance company – the Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society Ltd. which celebrated its 131st anniversary earlier this year.
