Promasidor through its Cowbell brand is sponsoring the 2012 Cowbell National Cycling Tour of Ghana which will provide those watching on television the opportunity to be "armchair tourists" and view parts of this beautiful country that may otherwise not be seen.

Alain with a new edition of the Enjoy ur Club social guide is continuing to explore the hot bars and restaurants of Accra and is hoping that you will get out there and try a taste of our local cuisine. Next month we leave the capital and take you around the country.

Alain Gbeasor (AG):Tell us about the Allianz Group and what makes you international market leaders in the insurance industry?

Patrick Prado (P.P):With approximately 142,000 employees worldwide, the Allianz Group serves over 78 million customers in more than 70 countries. Allianz offers a comprehensive range of insurance and asset management products.

Our product portfolio includes a wide range of property-casualty and life/health insurance products for both private and corporate customers. We are the leading property-casualty insurer globally and rank among the top five in the life/health insurance business. Most of our insurance markets are served by local Allianz companies while selected business lines are run globally

such as global corporate customers, credit insurance, assistance services, worldwide care, global automotive and reinsurance. The Allianz Group is a number one worldwide and this makes Allianz Ghana, the only insurance company in Ghana which is of international parentage.

Mr Martin Amoah is the astute Operations Director of Allianz Ghana. He has over 13 years experience in the insurance industry and has been with Allianz Ghana since its incorporation and official opening in 2009. He is a graduate of the University of Ghana, holds an ACII UK insurance qualification and an MBA in Finance. Martin is married with 3 children.

A.G:

What can you tell us about the insurance market in Ghana ?

Martin Amoah (M.A):The insurance market in Ghana is a young and budding one compared to the international industry. Notwithstanding that, the industry is competitive and buoyant. Unlike the international market, Ghana’s premium sales have increased by over 25% annually and are still rising because ghanaian society is getting richer and with that comes the need to insure. With less than 3 years in the market, Allianz Ghana is gradually becoming a household name in terms of corporate insurance and our international reputation leads the way.

A.G: What are the operational pressures associated with your work?

Martin Amoah (M.A): In the past year, the main pressure on all major international companies has been the economic crisis.

At Allianz, there is a strong belief in our employees as we believe they hold the key to the future values

nsurance is as old as human society. It began in the informal

sector when economies were more primitive. The insurance in such economies entailed agreements of mutual aid. For instance if one family's house was destroyed the neighbours were committed to help rebuild it. Granaries housed another primitive form of insurance to indemnify citizens against famine. It is the remnants of these insurances that have survived to the present day.

In today’s commercially diverse world, any risk that can be quantified can potentially be insured. Allianz are one company that have acquired considerable experience over the years and are today a worldwide giant of the insurance industry.

llianz AG was founded in February 1890 in Munich by

two banks, two industrialists, a lawyer, a banker, a politician and an insurance expert together with Carl von Thieme and Wilhelm von Finck. It had an initial capital of four million marks. Just three years after its formation in 1893, Allianz made inroads into the international markets and opened an office in London.

By the beginning of the first world war, the company had expanded their operations to the USA, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, France and the Balkans. The strength of Allianz as a corporate entity rests with the fact that as a company they have been resilient and lived through two world wars and further through their use of automated data processing and modern information technology as far back as 1926 and 1956 respectively.

In 1990, Allianz expanded further into eight Eastern European countries. In the same decade, Allianz also acquired the Fireman’s Fund, an insurer in the United States, this was followed by the purchase of Assurances Generales de France (AGF), Paris.

llianz SE's local subsidiary Allianz Ghana Ltd started

operations in Ghana in December 2009 and is fully owned by the Allianz Group.

With just a little over 2 years in Ghana, Allianz has made considerable inroads into the insurance market and is becoming a reputable name in Ghanaian insurance circles.

These acquisitions were followed by expansion into Asia with several joint ventures and acquisitions in China and South Korea. Around this time Allianz expanded its asset management business through the purchase of for example asset management companies in California.

In 2006, Allianz AG became Allianz SE thereby becoming a European Company or Societas Europeas (S.E) a new legal form for public companies in the European Union. This enabled the group to simplify its structures and would facilitate future cross-border mergers. Allianz SE was the first European Company on the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50.

As of 2011, Allianz Ghana had registered an annual turnover of over GHc 10 million in its second year of operations. The company is therefore poised for greater returns on investment in 2012.

Allianz Ghana aims to become the most trusted insurance company in Ghana and doing so based on international values and strategies.

n the wake of a hugely succesful Francophonie week, we bring you an exclusive interview with H.E Frédéric Clavier, the new French Ambassador to Ghana. He is a

career diplomat with degrees in law and political science. He is a Counsellor Hors Classe at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has served over 20 years in various offices. The new French Ambassador believes in hard work, dedication and rewarding these. He is an avid art lover (does some paintings himself as hobby) and loves cigars. He has been married for over 22 years to his wife Chantal and together they have two girls and a boy.

I caught up with him at the residency and asked him a few questions.

H.E Frédéric CLAVIER (F.C):

Thank you, as an ambassador, this is my first posting to Africa however I have held other portfolios for the French Government on the continent. Ghana has struck me with its cultural, tribal and regional unity in diversity. Ghana has a strong political class, business leadership and vibrant elite with strong backgrounds who are leading the developmental agenda of this country, I am therefore grateful to be living these moments in the history of Ghana personally.

A.G:What is the role of the French ambassador in Ghana? (Considering it’s an English Country)

F.C: The Franco – Ghana relationship is not a new one and France has always had representation here. The presence of France in Ghana indicates the importance that we accord to Ghana and its people. There are over 60 French companies incorporated in Ghana.

Good Morning Sir, welcome to Ghana and thanks for the opportunity. I understand this is not your first post in Africa, How is Ghana treating you?


interview

The ambassador and his team are present to help increase the bilateral relations between the two countries as well as enhance co-operation.

A.G: How are Ghana French relations and can you tell us about some of the projects being undertaken by France in Ghana?

F.C: France has a lot of interests in Ghana; there are 5 Alliance Françaises in Ghana and we invest over 240 million Euros in projects through the Agence Française de Development with over 1.3 million Euros in direct investments in Ghana annually. There are many French Government projects in Ghana, categorized into the political, co-operative, economic and educational spheres.

A.G:

As ambassador, do you have any particular vision that you wish to achieve in Ghana?

F.C: Ghana is a country rich in culture, history and the people need to jealously guard their political and developmental journey. My vision is to contribute to the achievements the country has made in its developmental agenda and help move them forward.

One other vision I’m passionate about, is to popularize the learning and teaching of the French Language. Ghana has a deficit of 4000 French teachers; my vision is to help bridge this gap and facilitate access to the the French Language.

A.G: The Francophonie week has just ended; I need to congratulate you on the record participation of the diplomatic community this year… How did you achieve this?

F.C: Thank you; the Francophonie is not just about celebrating culture, technology and education but also politics. Member countries of the Francophonie share in equal values of human rights, freedom,

justice and democracy. For this year’s celebration we put extra energy into the political aspects as well.

A.G:

What profession would you have chosen, had you not been an ambassador and how long have you served at the Foreign Ministry? What were some of your high moments?

F.C: That’s an interesting question; I will say am a career diplomat and hence my education and professional development has been in that direction. I entered the Foreign Ministry service in 1987 and have served in various portfolio since then. My high point would be the 6 years I served with the French presidency. Here I learnt about how national decisions are made and national cohesion is sustained as well as how government plans to have their national influence increased internationally.

A.G: Your Excellency, what are your hobbies?

F.C: In my scarce free periods, I love to play golf, tennis, read or do some painting. A.G: And finally any message to our avid readers?

F.C: My message to your readers is to encourage them to love Ghana more, strive for peace and national development.

t he 2012 National Cycling Tour of Ghana was officially launched at the La Palm Royal Beach Resort. This year’s tour follows hot on the success of the 2011

tour which covered a total distance of 1009.40km and featured 80 professional cyclists from 10 Clubs across the various regions. The maiden event saw Henry Tetteh Djangmah of the Diehard Club win the yellow jersey when he made the best time of the Tour taking home an amount of GH¢5,000.

This year's tour promises to be one of the best sponsored and organized events in the history of cycling in Ghana. Promasidor Ghana Ltd, through their brand Cowbell have become an unequivocal leader in the promotion of cycling in the country with their injection of over GH¢600,000 into this year's Tour.


who's who

This year’s event will cover 8 regions, 11 stages, travel a distance of 2156 Km with 72 riders from 12 cycling clubs covering a total race distance of 1313 Km with considerable insurance cover for all competing cyclists and their managers.

In 2011 the cycling tour unearthed a lot of ghanaian cycling talent nationwide.

This annual event is held in partnership with the Ghana Cycling Federation (GCF), Pens and Plastics Ghana, TV3, National Sports Authority, the Multi Media Group, Global Outdoor, DPP Outdoor and is benchmarking the Tour de France which is the third largest sporting event in the World.

In a speech, Mr Olivier Thiry, Managing Director of Promasidor Ghana Limited expressed his company’s hope that the "Tour du Ghana" event will promote not only cycling, but also tourism and business activity within the local communities. He further articulated their resolve to help develop other lesser known sports such as swimming, tennis and athletics in Ghana.

Mr Festus Tettey, marketing manager of Promasidor illustrated just how lucrative this year’s 13 day event (beginning on 15th May to 27th May) will be to the various participating teams.

Mr. Mohammed Sahnoon, President of the Ghana Cycling Federation and Mr Wolanyo Agra, Director General of the National Sports Authority, congratulated sponsors and stakeholders who contributed in diverse ways to making this annual tour a success. Mr Agra called on other corporate bodies to emulate Promasidor in their bid to support other lesser known sports in Ghana.

combination of a stunning drive and

incredible putting accuracy has brought Jessica Beals Tei to the limelight as one of the most promising female golfers in the country. Ms Tei, a member of the Achimota golf club is at the forefront of female golf in the country in just her first year of adult competition.

From her beginnings as an amateur member of the Youth Girl Child club to her domination of the female category of the annual Cowbell Caddies Tourney, Jessica has shown consistency and a strong desire to reach the pinnacle in ladies golf.

Jessica was selected in 2011 to be sponsored by Promasidor Ghana Limited after winning the female category of the

National Caddies Tournament for three consecutive years. The sponsorship has proved to be a worthwhile investment as Jessica has placed in the top three in 8 major tournaments across the country. Notable among these were her impressive displays in the K.N. Tamakloe Memorial Tourney and the Ghana Open competition where she placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Ms Tei has had her sponsorship from Promasidor renewed for another year and she looks forward to further success in 2012. She is aiming to become the number one female golfer in the country. “I want to reach the top and become an example and a source of encouragement for

many other girl golfers in the country”. Jessica attributes her success over the past year to her passion for the game of golf as well as her dedication and a high sense of discipline. “I spend a lot of time on the golf course practicing my game everyday” she states.

Promasidor Ghana will be responsible for all her tournament-related expenses throughout the year. The company has stated that it has been very happy with the performance of Jessica thus far and believes that many more young golfers can be discovered through youth competitions like the annual Cowbell National Caddies’ competition.

Aries21/3-20/04

Taurus21/4-21/05

Your energy is on the increase this month, dear Aries. This is the time to get back on track with a diet or fitness plan and with work projects things that may have stalled in the past few months. It's an excellent time for discovering alternative health methods and applying them. Do some work on your finances by looking back, reviewing, and researching. Love is not as straightforward from mid-month. People from the past figure strongly in your life. Transportation issues crop up near the end of May. More activity with siblings or neighbors is likely now.

May is a month to shine, dear Taurus, but not necessarily to act on a new idea. Research and incubate ideas so that you'll be ready to go forward with them in July. Romance is moving forward at a quick and stimulating pace. Going after what and who you want comes especially naturally, particularly on the 13-14. A close partner may have an outpouring of emotions around the Full Moon on the 5th. Financial matters take center stage from the 20th. Money matters can be tricky now, as adjustments to spending need to be made.

You benefit from lovely Venus moving through your sign until August, dear Gemini. This position accentuates your finer, more attractive qualities for all to appreciate. Nevertheless, you can be undecided this month, gathering your energies and weighing your options. Your emotions frequently turn your attention to the past and unresolved matters, until the last week of May when you're inspired and motivated to chase your dreams. Deal with any work problems that arise around the 5th with a cool, logical approach. Don't hide yourself away from the 20th forward, when opportunities to make your mark arise quite suddenly.

Capricorn22/12-20/01

Cancer22/6-23/07

While May brings a busy schedule and lively agenda, dear Cancer, emotionally you can be quite focused on the past and in need of some quiet time. New friendships are likely to be formed this month, and learning endeavors tend to thrive. Your career requires more movement and communication this month � such as spreading the word, lectures or speaking, promotion, and selling your ideas. The 5th can bring romantic revelations or drama in the life of a friend. A friend can open a window of opportunity for you, so pay close attention and stay connected.

Watch for distinct opportunities to advance your career interests or improve your social standing this month, dear Leo. Improved organization and a winning attitude towards what you believe you're worth are at the root of these. Recognition for your talents is forthcoming now. Be vigilant when dealing with associates from mid-month, as there can be some hidden resentments or problems brewing. Be a team player. Similar challenges might surface with a current friend. For some of you, a friend from the past can resurface in May or June.

May is a strong month for success in promoting, publishing, courses, and schooling, dear Virgo. It can also be good for travel and getaways. Breaking the normal routine can certainly boost your spirits. Career and reputation matters can be tricky from mid-month forward, especially if you mix business and pleasure. You may be rethinking your career direction or business connections and partnerships. While delays can be experienced now, your career is expected to take off in coming months. All month, you're more assertive and independent, and your powers of attraction run very high.

Matters of personal finance can be quite strong this month, dear Libra. A loan, bonus, refund, or mortgage may come through, and a partner, if applicable, might enjoy a pay raise. It's easier than usual to work out problems through healthy conversation this month. Feedback from others can be very helpful. However, love matters can become complicated after the 15th. You may be indecisive or especially concerned about weighing your options. Energy levels are not at their peak this month. Listen to your body's signals to get extra rest.

Others can make big demands on your time this month, dear Scorpio, but for the most part, your involvement is pleasant and rewarding. Personal plans tend to take the back seat in favor of the agendas of friends, children, or a partner. Your social life is animated and relationships are mostly happy in May. However, avoid divulging too much information to a co-worker or acquaintance in the first week of the month. Finances are generally strong, but you could experience delays revolving around money owed to you from mid-month forward. Joint money and property matters are in need of review.

May is potentially the strongest month all year for career prospects and recognition, dear Sagittarius. Hard work pays off and others recognize both your efforts and your natural talents. The only caution here is to avoid taking on more than you can handle, as your enthusiasm and optimism can cloud your judgment. Avoid making promises that will be difficult to fulfill. Close relationships may become complicated from mid-May forward, when unresolved issues from the past reappear. Talking through problems is favored now. A more logical and less emotional approach works best.

While you have a well-deserved reputation for working hard, dear Capricorn, this month you're more inclined to choose pleasure over work whenever possible. This is a good thing, as it helps to feed your spirit. However, you may need to watch for errors and backtracking in your work. Your social life tends to be quite busy in May. Your romantic life is likely to be animated and pleasurable overall, although you are better off living in the moment rather than making long-term plans if you're starting a new relationship this month.

Home and family life are in strong focus this month, dear Aquarius. The domestic life is busy, mostly pleasant, and rewarding. It's a good period for strengthening ties with those closest to you, particularly on the 12-14. The 5th can bring a domestic project to fulfillment or completion. While love relationships tend to be pleasurable overall, there can be some backtracking or reticence experienced from mid-month forward as Venus begins retrograde motion. You can also encounter delays with regards to travel or educational plans. Review all of these matters, but enjoy yourself in the process.

May is likely to begin on a busy note, and end on a more peaceful one, dear Pisces. You are communicative and sociable, reaching out to others and enjoying the connections you're making. The last week of May, however, brings a stronger desire to enjoy the peace and security of family life, and less interest in venturing far from home. Your relationship with a significant other is likely to be animated and at times strained. Perhaps you feel that not enough attention is paid to your own needs and plans. However, the 12-14 can bring opportunities to strengthen your bond with others through team work and communication.

BEERTIPSEat while you drinkIt is particularly good to eat high protein foods such

as cheese and peanuts, which help to slow the

absorption of alcohol into the circulatory system.

Cultivate tasteEnjoy your drink, don’t rush it. If you gulp a drink you

will be losing the pleasure of tasting and smelling the

various flavors in the drink.

Accept a drinkonly when you really want oneAt a party if someone is trying to force another drink

on you, ask for ice or drink a non-alcoholic beverage.

Know your limit Skip a drink now and thenSpace your alcoholic drinks out to keep the desired blood

alcohol concentration.

Appoint a designated driverHave someone available who will not be drinking and will drive all

drinkers home. This is critical if the person has consumed more

than one drink per hour. If you know that you will have to drive

after consuming alcohol, limit your consumption to no more than

one drink an hour.
