Some people mistakenly refer to us as Mnet, a Dstv channel. Others call us Mynet (my-net). Yet others categorize us as a health advocacy organization. In case you, too, did not know, we are Minet (pronounced the way it is spelt, Mi-ne-t).
Just to remind you. Minet is not a new entity in Malawi. In fact, we are the oldest insurance broker in Malawi. The company you know, today, as Minet Malawi Insurance Brokers Limited was incorporated and granted certificate of registration in Malawi in 1963 as Hogg Robinson & Capel-Cure (Nyasaland) Limited. Over the years, we changed our name from Hogg Robinson & Capel-Cure (Nyasaland) Limited to Hogg Robinson Limited to Bain Hogg Limited, and then to Aon Malawi Limited. In November 2017, we rebranded to Minet Malawi Insurance Brokers Limited.
On the global insurance landscape, our journey started almost seventy-five years ago as JH Minet Company. In 1997, Aon, the leading global provider of risk management, human resource consulting, and outsourcing, acquired the UK shareholder, London Minet, as part of their African expansion strategy. As a result, we became Aon Minet, and subsequently Aon.
Who are we in Africa? You ask. Minet is a Pan-African insurance broker with Minet owned offices in Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique (trading under Minseg brand), Namibia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. In other parts of the continent, we have strong correspondent arrangements to provide unmatched coverage of the African continent to our clients.
Minet is a trusted advisor that meets the uncertainties of tomorrow by delivering risk and human capital solutions today. As the largest Aon global network correspondent, we boast access to a network of over 50,000 colleagues in 120 countries as well as proprietary data, research and analytics which enable us to manage and secure the risks of tomorrow and provide clients with an unrivalled advantage.
In Malawi, we have a team of employees dedicated to providing insurance services to our clients across the country from two centrally located offices in the heart of Blantyre (Hannover House, Independence Drive) and Lilongwe (Nico Centre, Kamuzu Procession Road). We continuously build on our capacity to deliver what our clients want. We have invested in the most talented people, in the market, who bring to our organization, motivation, ideas, and commitment. For our clients, this commitment means quality and innovative service.
We operate from a unique unparalleled position. We strive to be market leaders and pioneers in everything we do. We are the largest-rated Pan-African insurance risk services broker, reinsurance intermediary and human resource consulting and outsourcing provider. As alluded to above, we are the first insurance broker to register in the Malawi market. We hold the largest market share in brokerage income. In the broking sector, we have the highest number of chartered practitioners. We take pride in being the only composite insurance broker in the Malawi market, offering services in retail general insurance, employee benefits and reinsurance – all under one roof. Our offerings include non-life, life, pension, funeral, risk management, and medical insurance as well as reinsurance broking. We provide a comprehensive range of insurance solutions required by government, corporations and individuals.
How do we address our clients’ specific needs?
We believe that generic risk services, such as off-the-shelf insurance policies, often overlook industry and organizational differences. Such services fail to effectively mitigate individual exposures to loss, damage, liability, and other risks.
At Minet we start by understanding each client’s unique needs and then tailor a solution to meet them. To ensure effective service delivery, we adopt a team approach, giving clients access to a team of skilled and chartered individuals familiar with the client’s business and its insurance and risk management requirements. Our hands-on technical team is backed by support staff and the international resources of our group and affiliates. This along with strict adherence to proven service standards, provides a structured framework for a logical, step-by-step procedure that is pre-agreed and closely monitored by our clients. Talk to us. We are here to guide and serve you. Email us on: info@minet.co.mw or call us on +265 999 968 962. We are Minet.
