Hollard Group is an insurance company based in South Africa that operates under two insurance licences: short term and life. The company was established in 1980 by Robert Enthoven. Today the Enthoven family retains the majority share, locally through The Enthoven Family Trust (EFT) and internationally through Capricorn Ventures International (CVI). Through Hollard branded products as well as co-creations with 100 specialist partners, they have diverse insurance products and many ‘firsts’ in the insurance industry. They pioneered new distribution methods such as prepaid insurance in cellphone-like ‘starter packs’ through retailers. Hollard has had 26 years of uninterrupted underwriting profits and five years ago began an Afro-global expansion program. In 2006 Hollard was rated 5th in a South African Best Company to Work For survey.[1]
