Over forty (40) omni and taxi bus drivers from the various associations on St. Kitts, along with independent operators, were in attendance for the interactive forum, which featured presentations by a team of professionals addressing the following topical areas:

Road Safety
Inspector Cromwell Henry, RSCNPF Traffic Department

The Impact of Accidents on Road Safety
Dr. Patrick Martin, Chief Medical Officer

Legal Implications of Serious Accidents
Ms. Keisha Spence, Legal Practitioner, Kelsick, Wilkin, and Ferdinand

Treating Your Business As A Business
Mr. Steve Farier, General Manager, St. Kitts-Nevis Finance Company (FINCO)

Insurance and the Driver
Mr. Carl Thompson, General Manager, St. Kitts-Nevis Insurance Company (SNIC)

Immediately following the discussions, participants openly expressed their views on the various subjects and offered suggestions for the way forward for all concerned.

The company then recognized Mr. Edmund Johnson, a long standing client for his years of service (which spans some two decades). He was presented with a token of appreciation, as one of the first clients to do business with the Company.

According to Mr. Nicolas Menon, Executive Director with responsibility for Insurance within the TDC Group, who also participated in the activity, “this initiative underscores SNIC’s commitment to the public. We believe it is important to keep our drivers well informed of their roles. As such, it was specifically developed to inform and educate, with the aim of making them more knowledgeable, as they strive to be reliable motorists.”

The curtains came down on a successful evening with the closing exercises that included the distribution of Corporate gifts to the respective speakers for their contribution and light refreshments.

SNIC will continue to participate in the TDC is YOU Campaign, with a series of activities creatively designed to work with and support programmes that help to build stronger, and more responsible communities.
