The passage of time.

Anslow was started in 1986 by Mr Robert Lindsey Shaw and was originally named Shavian Management Consultants. It began as an insurance consulting business and its first major client was Hannover Reinsurance Company (Germany) followed shortly thereafter by an appointment as consultants to the Joint Liquidators of AA Mutual Short-Term Insurance Business in Liquidation. Anslow opened the South African contact office for Hannover Re in 1986 and in 1999 transferred the portfolio to Hollandia Reinsurance Company Limited which merged the two entities to form Hannover Reinsurance Africa Limited.

Over time Anslow has set up and managed a number of insurance businesses from Brokers to Underwriting Managers to Insurers. It has been a consulting firm in the insurance industry for over 35 years and has helped form insurance companies, amend licence conditions, assist with management structures, set up subsidiaries, hire key personnel, draft Corporate Governance policies, draft insurance policies and wordings and create insurance products.

Now.

Anslow now focusses on transformation within the South African insurance industry. It consults to a number of majority black-owned insurance businesses and is striving to hand over a well managed system to a new generation in our country.

Anslow is also an investment firm with shares in both start-up and established businesses, both in the insurance industry and various other sectors including property and education. The businesses in which Anslow holds a majority share are referred to as The Anslow Group and share back-office services all run and managed from the Anslow offices in Johannesburg.
