The Greenwich Group, a financial solutions provider in Nigeria has held its 30 years of delivering innovative financial solutions tailored to the evolving needs of stakeholders while contributing to the growth and development of the Nigerian economy.
The lead institution, formerly known as Greenwich Trust Ltd, has transitioned from its early days as a Financial Adviser and Issuing House into a Merchant Bank. In March 2024, Greenwich Merchant Bank was granted an Approval- In-Principle (AIP) by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for a non-operating financial holding company structure. Today, Greenwich Merchant Bank is the most capitalized Merchant Bank in Nigeria, with a strong asset base of N146 billion as of June 30, 2024.
In commemoration of its 30th Anniversary, the company hosted an exclusive dinner event in Lagos, to celebrate and appreciate its loyal clients and customers who have been part of the journey, as well as express its deep gratitude to the stakeholders, while rewarding 45 staff members who have been instrumental in the Group’s journey to success.
Amongst the awardees was a posthumous award for leadership, which was awarded to the late (Sir) Remi Omotosho with the sum of N50million. The best staff across the Greenwich Group, Mrs. Yakashim Shettem, also received the Kayode Falowo Award for Excellence which also went with a cash prize.
In his welcome remarks, Chairman of Greenwich Group, Kayode Falowo, expressed profound gratitude to God, appreciated the Company’s stakeholders, and noted that the dinner is part of the Group’s broader initiative to further appreciate its clients and recognize the efforts of the taff for their loyalty as it progresses to its next growth phase.
According to him, the institution is set to unfold a remarkable transformation by launching into new territories of businesses—Insurance, PFA and Fintech, as it has received an Approval- In-Principle from the Central Bank of Nigeria to operate as a holding company.
The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, a special guest at the event, commended the Chairman of Greenwich for demonstrating exemplary leadership and commitment to excellence in his role for spearheading the remarkable traits that have significantly contributed to the growth and success of the Institution.
