The winner is FMI

“I’m thrilled that we have been recognised with this prestigious award, particularly considering the standard of nominees alongside us.” CEO, Brad Toerien.

“I love the fact that I get to lead a business that is making a difference. We develop life insurance products that protect you against the financial impact of an injury, illness or even death by providing you or your family with an income if you are unable to work. That means that every time we pay a claim, we are helping someone provide for their family or keep their business open,” Toerien says.

Though a national business, KZN is FMI’s first chose for our head office, and over the years we have invested in numerous local initiatives which seek to uplift the lives of the local community, while also spreading our unique take on the life insurance industry.
