Honouring The Late Insurance Industry Stalwart Errol Ziadie

The Errol Ziadie Memorial Scholarship is being established to honour the memory of former MGI (Insurance Brokers) Ltd Chairman, Errol Ziadie who was a prominent figure in the Insurance Industry. Before his passing, Ziadie was instrumental in the merger of the new entity BCMG Insurance Brokers Limited and the aim is for this scholarship to be just another of his outstanding legacies.  

 As an Insurance Industry stalwart, the scholarship in honour of Ziadie is fitting given his long-serving achievements in the sector.    

This scholarship will target persons who are already working in the insurance industry, providing full tuition for the Certified Insurance Technician Course (formerly known as the Jamaica Insurance Diploma).  

Scholarship Background

BCMG Insurance Brokers launched a memorial scholarship at the Kingston Cricket Club on Thursday, June 30  in honour of the late insurance industry stalwart and BCMG Chairman, Errol Ziadie. He was a prominent figure in the industry and served in many capacities that advanced the industry over the course of almost three decades. The brokerage hopes to highlight and acknowledge the work of Ziadie who was also integral in the company’s formation when he assisted with the merger between Billy Craig and MGI Brokers in 2020. Ziadie was also instrumental in the establishment of the College of Insurance and Professional Studies (CIPS), where the scholarship will be tenable.   

The scholarship will target persons who are already working in the industry but do not yet have certification.
