Nacional Brokers

Nacional Brokers is an independent company with private shareholding. The management team consists of: Managing Director - Jeannette McHardy, (FCII) London. Accounts and Human Resources - Amina Aboobakar. Client Portfolio Management - Paula Silva. The managing director has been with the company since initial operations commenced. Jeannette McHardy... has worked in the insurance industry for twenty six years. She qualified as an FCII in 1986 whilst employed as an Account Executive in the Anglo Division of First Bowring (now Marsh). We have twenty staff members who deal with clients allocated to their portfolio. They manage all aspects of the account including claims. All work is monitored by the Client Manager and the director on a daily basis. Technical audits are carried out on a monthly basis. There is a lack of skilled staff in the local market as insurance was not considered a necessity for many years. As a result the insurance industry did not keep up to date with international trends and developments. Due to the difference in methods of insurance technology our staff is trained in-house and attends courses given by local offices of South African Insurers. The staff members have some South African insurance qualification and are also studying for IISA exams. To further complement the services we offer our clients we make use of an international Risk Management Consultant for surveying and Risk Management as there are no companies with these necessary skills locally. If necessary, further technical assistance is provided by Willis/Gras Savoye.Read More
