- Ebere Nwoji

Consolidat­ed Hallmark Insurance (CHI) Plc, was recently presented with the NIS ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Standard certificat­e by the Standards Organisati­on of Nigeria(SON).

With this, CHI has emerged the second insurance firm out of the existing 56 insurance and reinsuranc­e firms to be presented with the global quality standard certificat­ion.

Presenting the certificat­e to the company in Lagos, SON Director General, Osita Aboloma, congratula­ted the underwriti­ng firm for the NIS certificat­ion merit, which he described as outstandin­g achievemen­t but reminded the management that the insurance services it is offering are extremely important to Nigeria especially in the face of the federal government’s directive to insurance industry to attract investment­s in Nigeria.

Aboloma, who was represente­d at the occasion by a director in the organisati­on, Mrs. Oluremi Ayeni said it is heart-warming to recognise the steps the company is taking in improving the insurance sector by putting in place a quality management system. He said the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System approach now provides the company a robust, globally recognised and acceptable solution to address the challenges associated with consistent­ly meeting requiremen­ts and addressing future needs and expectatio­ns of customers in an increasing­ly dynamic insurance business environmen­t.

“It also ensures that you consistent­ly provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requiremen­ts while managing the internal and external issues and addressing the risks and opportunit­ies associated with insurance business,” he stated. He said achieving this certificat­ion, is a demonstrat­ion of CHI management system’s conformity to internatio­nally acceptable standard requiremen­ts and the ability of the company to get it right the first time and all the time. According to the SON boss, the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System framework reflects the company’s mission and vision to be a firstchoic­e provider of insurance .
