NICO Group treats employees to Family Day outing
NICO Group, Malawi’s giant financial services provider, pooled all its employees together for a Family Day outing at Blantyre Sports Club in Blantyre where they were joined by their families to relax, interact and celebrate their efforts in making NICO the strong brand it is today.
They indulged in a fun walk from Chichiri Shopping Mall and in various sporting activities at the Club such as tug of war, football, volleyball, netball, golf while the kids were entertained to dancing competition and jumping castles.
It was a day well spent and NICO Group’s Managing Director Vizenge Kumwenda said the event, celebrated under the theme ‘Stronger Together’, was all for team building spirit as well for the staff to have fun as they interact with other families.
“The theme of growing stronger together cannot be overemphasized — It is what builds us together because working as a team will enable us to achieve a lot more than isolating ourselves in the various businesses.
“We should continue the spirit we have shown today of coming together. This is all about having fun and networking with our families.”
NICO Group Plc comprises NICO Holdings, NBS Bank, NICO General, NICO Life, NICO Pensions, NICO Asset Managers, NICO Technologies, and Eris Properties.
“Ours is a big brand — a one stop financial services provider under one roof. Talk of general insurance, life insurance, banking, asset management, pensions administration, ICT property management, we at NICO can provide these services practically under one roof.
“Our performance in 2018 for the various businesses was satisfactory and I commend each one of us for working hard to achieve this and I would say let us give ourselves a big round of applause.
“However, let us not slacken from pushing towards our goals to achieve even better performance in 2019 and beyond. I encourage each one of us to continue the spirit of working hard so that we continue to celebrate such positive results,” said Kumwenda, who participated in golf with other top management staff.
