Union Savings and Loans, a non-bank financial institution, was adjudged the fastest growing company in Ghana at the 2014 Ghana Club 100 awards held in Accra.

The company also won an award for Leader in the Non- bank financial institution sector, GC 100, 2014 and placed 5th on the top 100 list for 2014 ranking.

The MD for the company, Mr. Philip Oti-Mensah, was elated and grateful to the discipline team that helped the company chop this milestone.

According to him, without the right people and strategies that came from the company’s Human Resource department, Union S&L wouldn’t have been able to scoop the numerous awards during the occasion.

Aside this factor, Mr. Oti-Mensah acknowledged the role the SME market has played in bringing them to the top.

He explained that Union has over the years sacrificed to serve the SME market diligently and clients they deal with have repaid them by sticking to them.

“The strategy would not change. Just recently, we were awarded with the CIMG emerging brand of the year and I believe that brand positioning is the starting point for any business. If you are well known for being good at what you do, the market would continue to do business with you.

This would not change; we would continue to research and position ourselves first as the SME bank. We would continue to do that in any other business environment that we enter. We would make sure we well research and be the leader in that market”, he said.
