Balancing resilience with agility, Maksure has approached these challenges by doubling down on scenario planning, strengthening risk analytics, and leveraging its global reinsurance relationships.

We found out more from Managing Director Simbarashe Makwembere below, as Maksure Risk Solutions is named in the Corporate Excellence Awards 2025. Maksure Risk Solutions: Building Resilience Against Risk Rather than viewing these moments as setbacks, the broker opted to treat them as opportunities to innovate and future-proof its clients, continually striving to provide its stakeholders with the best possible outcomes. These realities – from navigating volatility to making sound decisions in increasingly complex environments – are at the heart of the broker’s Strategic Business Units (SBUs). One of the firm’s most impactful recent initiatives involved helping regional insurers in Southern Africa access structured reinsurance programmes that enhanced capital efficiency and solvency strength. The project’s success stemmed from Maksures’ ability to blend technical actuarial insights with practical market execution, unlocking new growth opportunities for its partners. As one client recently remarked: “Maksure doesn’t just place cover; they truly understand our business and acts as an extension of our team.” Such ability is made possible by the exceptional team driving Maksure. Believing that people are the true driver of success, the broker emphasises a culture of entrepreneurship, innovation, and accountability: empowering its teams to think differently, collaborate openly, and act with ownership. Through continuous learning, mentoring, and recognition, Maksure has created an environment where ideas thrive and individuals grow, which translates into tangible success for clients and stakeholders. “We encourage a learning culture; we are in the business of selling knowledge, after all,” Simba added. This commitment to cultivating talent is not just internal, extending to the broader industry. Insurance and reinsurance are trust-based industries – as credibility is earned from knowledge and delivery – and rewards those who can combine technical skills with empathy for client needs. In this space, Maksure emphasises a focus on building expertise, relationships, and resilience. It understands the importance of remaining curious and adaptable in its solutions and, above all else, always aims to lead with integrity. Named the Best Independent Insurance and Reinsurance Broker 2025, Maksure will uphold this future as it continues to shape the future of the landscape. “Over the next five years, our focus is on digital expansion, expanding our Afro-global footprint, and developing cutting-edge risk transfer solutions tailored to emerging markets,” Simba announced. “We aim to be a leading enabler of parametric covers, climate risk solutions, and capital management strategies that will define the next era of insurance in Africa and beyond. Our goal is simple: to keep clients ahead of risk while unlocking growth opportunities.” Contact: Simbarashe Makwembere Company: Maksure Risk Solutions Web Address: www.maksure.co.uk
