Eclipse Microfinance wins Europe Business Assembly award

Eclipse Microfinance, a fast-growing microfinance company, has won the Europe Business Assembly (EBA) award as the Best Enterprise. The Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr Kafui Amegah, also won Manager of the Year at the same ceremony. 

Barely three years old, Eclipse is growing as a result of astute management and direction from the company’s board and great vision from its CEO. 

Statement

A statement from EBA said: “Eclipse Microfinance is one of the best-known names in West Africa financial industry. EBA is proud to present Eclipse as a leading industry provider.

“The quality policy of the company aims to supply distinguished service in giving micro credit to individuals, small and medium businesses, offering business advisory service and taking deposits from the public for investment and a high level of customer satisfaction,” it said.

The statement added that Eclipse was rewarded for its strong position in the national market, the company’s status in international ratings, the utilisation of modern management technologies, high staff qualification levels and a successful marketing strategy.

Mr Amegah, in appreciation, said: “I want to thank the Euro Business Aassembly for projecting us and giving us this award. 

“I was surprised when we were nominated for this award and I believe it has come as a result of the good deeds that we have done over the years. I would like to thank everyone, from my board of directors, management, staff to customers,” he said in an interview.

With these awards, Eclipse Microfinance is now a member of the EBA fraternity; part of a Club of Leaders, one of the noble clubs in UK; and now a part of the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce in the UK, a big platform which links up with most prestigious organisations, politicians and city managers who meet frequently to brainstorm on business.

The Best Enterprise Award project was established in 2000 to present the best regional companies to the European business society. 

The main purpose of the Assembly is to highlight prominent companies and assist with their further promotion and the EBA community, along with assistance in attraction of partners from the globe among EBA members due to the growing chain of subsidiaries and partners in 60 countries.

With a staff strength of 60, Mr Amegah has created a holdings company, Eclipse Holdings, to support the company’s international expansion ambitions. 

The holdings company has Eclipse Microfinance as the flagship company, Eclipse Farms, agriculture;      KAF International School, education, and Eclipse Microfinance in Sierra Leone.
