RFIB expands African operations with new headquarters

Lloyd's re/insurance broker RFIB Group has established new permanent offices in Montecasino, Johannesburg, to further expand its presence in Africa.

The company has also appointed Fhumulani Munzhedzi as head of facultative for Africa, and Nina Joubert as head of client experience.

“RFIB’s new headquarters underlines the Group commitment to the African continent. The continued investment in both platform and people offers a continually evolving, increasingly enticing proposition for the African reinsurance buyer,” said Paul Ray, director of RFIB Africa.

Lee Ellis, CEO of RFIB Africa, commented: “It is my distinct pleasure to work with Fhums once again. Combining his ten years of facultative broking experience across Africa with the strength of the RFIB Group platform will undoubtedly release significant value for our regional clients.”
