Tamkeen and FinMark Communications announced Bahrain National Insurance (bni) as a Gold Sponsor of the Second Annual Tamkeen Business Quiz Show.
For a second year, (bni) has offered its support as a Gold Sponsor to the Quiz challenge, which aims to foster engagement between Bahrain’s business community and the public as well as to highlight the key companies and industry sectors, which make the Kingdom of Bahrain a leading financial and business hub in the region.
This year’s event will be launched in early December to coincide with the Kingdom’s National Day celebrations and will gather teams of participants from Bahrain’s leading companies and industry sectors. The industries featured by the show are: Banking, Insurance, Telecommunications & Technology and Industrials. The four industry quiz nights will be held on 2, 4, 5 and 6 December 2012, where four teams from the same industry will compete. The Grand Finale to be held on 11 December 2012 will see the four winning teams, representing their respective industries, compete for the top honour. The competitions will take place in front of live audiences at the Seef Mall in order to maximise public participation and awareness building among corporates and individuals of the opportunities that exist in Bahrain’s private sector and the programmes and initiatives of Tamkeen, which are aimed at job creation and private sector growth. Episodes will also be featured on BTV and in Bahrain’s print and online media.
“We are delighted once again to both take part in and support the Tamkeen Business Quiz Show,” said Bashayer Dhaif, Corporate Communications Manager at BNH, the parent company of bni. “As Bahrain’s oldest insurance company, bni has always taken a leadership role in the development of its industry and in the training and development of Bahraini talent. This Quiz presents a perfect opportunity for us to both spread awareness of our industry among the public and to showcase the dedicated and highly skilled professionals within our organization that continue to drive our success and growth. We look forward to working together with Tamkeen and FinMark to make the event a success for all the participating teams and industries.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome bni as a Gold Sponsor of the second annual Tamkeen Business Quiz Show. bni played an important role in helping us to launch the inaugural event last year and their ongoing support and confidence in the value of this event is hugely gratifying. Working together Tamkeen, bni and other market leading companies across sectors, we’re looking forward to making this both a fun competition for teams and the public but importantly one that helps to build awareness of the great opportunities and support, through Tamkeen, that exist here in the Kingdom for the private sector – both corporates and individuals,” Zahraa Taher, Managing Director of FinMark added.
In addition to the competition among industry teams, the Quiz series will also be fully interactive and test the public’s knowledge of Bahraini business and of Tamkeen and its programmes giving them the chance to win exciting prizes. The public prize competitions will take place during each Quiz night at the Seef Mall. An online competition will also soon be launched giving the public a chance to enter a draw for a special grand prize.
Further announcements will soon be made on the details of the event as well as the many other sponsors and supporters working with the Tamkeen Business Quiz Show to make the event a great success for the participating businesses, teams and community.
