On 21 November 2024, the insurance industry gathered at the prestigious Sandton Convention Centre for the highly anticipated IIG Gala Dinner. This year’s theme, Casino Royale Black Tie, set the stage for an evening of elegance, excitement, and camaraderie, and Alpha Insure was honoured to play a significant role as a proud sponsor.
The venue’s atmosphere was nothing short of spectacular. From the exquisite décor to the sophisticated black-tie attire of the attendees, the night embodied the glamour and thrill of a James Bond-inspired casino. Guests enjoyed a delightful menu, complemented by the lively energy of poker tables, adding a fun and interactive twist to the evening.
One of the most inspiring moments was the presentation of the Long Service Awards, which celebrated the dedication and contributions of industry professionals. Among the recipients were several valued members of the Alpha Insure family:
- Lester Botha – 35 years
- Karin Janse Van Rensburg – 30 years
- Gary Ferguson – 25 years
- Marius Scheepers – 20 years
- Samantha Van Niekerk – 20 years
- Roberta Van Niekerk – 20 years
These awards were a poignant reminder of the loyalty, passion, and commitment that drive the success of our industry. Seeing our colleagues recognised among the esteemed leaders of insurance was a proud moment for all of us.
The IIG Gala Dinner continues to be a highlight on the insurance calendar, providing a platform to strengthen industry connections and celebrate excellence. Beyond the glamour and networking opportunities, the evening also underscored the shared values of community and collaboration that define our profession.
As we look ahead to 2025, Alpha Insure remains committed to supporting the growth and innovation of our industry. This remarkable evening has inspired us to strive for even greater heights, and we are proud to be part of an industry that celebrates its people and their achievements so profoundly.
Here’s to another successful year in insurance and to the bonds we continue to forge along the way!
