On hand for the event was the president of Sagicor Cayman, Michael A. Fraser, who spoke after the Rev. Timothy Robinson led the attendees in prayer.
‘The reverend prayed for us to be humble,’ he said. ‘But when you look at the last year’s performance, it’s difficult.’
For 2007, Sagicor increased its number of cases by 21 per cent and its premiums by 25 per cent. It surpassed both its $1.4 million sales quota and its $1.5 stretch sales quota for the year.
Mr. Fraser said the Sagicor Group was very proud of its Cayman office.

‘We have three consecutive years of growth. That is commendable performance,’ she said, adding that Sagicor Cayman was committed to setting a new office sales record again in 2008.
Lawyer and YCLA finalist Donald Spence served as guest speaker for the luncheon. He talked about the importance of the insurance industry.
‘It’s not just selling insurance that you do,’ he told attendees. ‘It’s an essential career. You have a great profession; you have a great role to play.’
Awards given out during the event included: Broker of the Year to Derek Bogle Insurance; Broker Agent of the Year to Edlin Myles; New Agent Incentive to Garfield Josephs; Most Improved Agent to Vincent Mitchell; and Rookie of the Year and Runner-up Agent of the Year to Theresa Chin.
But the star of the show was Jewel Ebanks, who took the awards for Conservation Leader, Cases Leader, and Agent of the Year.
Ms Ebanks credited hard work and perseverance for her achievement, especially after Hurricane Ivan.
‘There were plenty of times when I wanted to throw in the towel,’ she said. ‘But have God in everything you do and he will see you through the toughest of times.’
