Global Solutions

Turning Global Complexity into Local Confidence

Expanding across borders brings opportunity but also complexity. Our Global Solutions team helps multinational businesses navigate risk, compliance, and insurance challenges with confidence. We combine deep local expertise across Africa with access to trusted international partners, ensuring you have seamless protection wherever you operate.

Who We Support

We support businesses expanding into other territories, clients requiring coordinated placements across Africa through a single facilitator hub, organisations needing aligned policy structures and streamlined programme management, and businesses operating in markets where local legislative and compliance requirements must be carefully managed.

Our Global Network

GIB holds memberships and partnerships across select international broking networks and alliances to support clients with international programme needs. These relationships extend our reach and strengthen delivery; while keeping service coordinated through GIB’s South African base.

Africa Focus

GIB proudly manages the GIB Africa Alliance, an independent broker network established in 2013 to meet the growing need for a trusted African territory facilitator. Today, the alliance has expanded to include 40 partners across the continent, all coordinated directly from our Johannesburg head office. This model ensures that programmes remain aligned and consistent across Africa, while being supported by local experts who understand the nuances of their markets.

Our partners are independent brokers who share a like minded approach to client service, bringing on the ground knowledge and practical insight into every engagement. Through this network, clients gain access to support throughout Africa.

The Compliance Factor

Each African country operates according to its own legislation and compliance guidelines. These differences must be understood and addressed within the regulatory framework that is legally required. By working with in‑country brokers who have detailed knowledge of local requirements, we help ensure an effective process and a well‑coordinated, streamlined solution.

Unlike rigid, centrally controlled owned networks, the GIB Africa Alliance has the capability to adapt to client needs while keeping the programme coordinated and orderly.

The GIB Advantage

Since opening our doors in 1982, GIB has built a reputation for combining local support with global reach, always keeping the client at the centre of our strategy. Our strong track record is backed by thirteen specialist divisions that cater to industries across the spectrum, ensuring that no matter your sector, we have the expertise to guide you.

We are proud to hold a Level 1 B BBEE rating, reflecting our commitment to transformation and inclusivity. Over the years, our systematic client service methodology has helped us achieve a history of successful client retention, built on trust and long term relationships. By balancing deep local knowledge with international partnerships, we deliver solutions that are both globally aligned and locally relevant, all while maintaining a client focused service culture that puts your needs first.

Structured Service Overview

We provide a comprehensive suite of services designed to align with your business strategy while meeting the realities of local markets.

We help you design and manage global insurance programmes that remain consistent across regions, while adapting to the unique requirements of each territory. Our team ensures compliance and risk management are handled seamlessly, so you can focus on growth without worrying about regulatory pitfalls.

For organisations with people spread across multiple countries, we create employee benefits solutions that are competitive, tax effective, and tailored to local needs, ensuring your workforce is supported wherever they are. And when traditional coverage isn’t enough, we guide you through alternative risk financing options such as captives and self insurance, empowering you to take control of costs and coverage.

Let's Talk Global Risk

If your business operates across borders, or you’re planning international expansion—our team is ready to support you with coordinated programmes, local expertise, and global reach.
