Solutions: On 20 July 2026, NICO Holdings Plc held its annual Stakeholder Engagement at Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre, bringing together key stakeholders and shareholders. The event provided an important platform for NICO Holdings to strengthen relationships with stakeholders who play an important role in the Group’s continued growth and success. Mirage PR played a key role in bringing the stakeholder engagement to life, providing professional event management and coordination from planning through to execution.

As an experienced event management and public relations agency in Malawi, Mirage PR was responsible for ensuring that the event was strategically planned, professionally branded and smoothly delivered. The agency coordinated the various event requirements, including venue arrangements, event branding, décor, programme flow, stakeholder experience and media management. This end-to-end coordination allowed NICO Holdings’ leadership to focus on engaging with stakeholders and communicating the Group’s performance and strategic direction, while Mirage PR managed the operational and experiential elements of the event.

The Stakeholder Engagement served as a platform for NICO Holdings Plc to share the progress the business had made over the past year, communicate its strategic direction and discuss opportunities and challenges affecting the financial services industry. Through careful event planning and execution, Mirage PR created a professional environment that supported meaningful stakeholder engagement and reflected the corporate stature of NICO Holdings Plc. The agency’s role extended beyond logistics, ensuring that the event experience, visual presentation and guest journey worked together to support the objectives of the engagement.

NICO Holdings Plc’s Executive Leadership Team presented on the Group’s financial performance, operational priorities, customer experience initiatives, governance, people strategy and long-term vision. The programme concluded with a summary of key discussions and the agreed way forward for the organisation. Mirage PR’s event coordination ensured that the programme moved seamlessly, with the necessary technical, hospitality, branding and logistical requirements managed throughout the event.
