Old Mutual Life Assurance Company Managing Director Roy Punungwe said as the world constantly changes with new innovations and ways of doing things, it is imperative that companies should help people to stay ahead of the times.

Punungwe said it is the desire of his company to have staff members who are part of these two institutes.

“And the idea of supporting these conferences comes to mind as we know that there will be knowledge sharing and this is how we can develop our professionals within the country and these institutions are instrumental towards driving the development of these professionals,” he said.

This is not the first time for Old Mutual to get in touch in supporting the corporate world as recently it supported the education sector with money to be used for less privileged students.
