SanlamAllianz General Insurance has expanded its operational footprint in Thika Town following the official launch of a new office aimed at strengthening insurance service delivery for businesses and residents.
The move signals the firm’s push to tap into Thika’s manufacturing cluster and the expanding network of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that dominate the town’s commercial landscape.
Thika, a key economic hub in Kiambu County, hosts a significant number of agro-processing firms, manufacturing industries, and retail businesses that face operational risks ranging from equipment damage to business interruptions and market uncertainties.
Speaking , chief executive George Kuria said the company is designing insurance solutions tailored to the resilience and expansion needs of SMEs operating in dynamic business environments.
Kuria said the strategy is anchored on strengthening the sustainability of local enterprises by providing risk protection products that support business continuity, investment confidence, and long-term commercial growth.
“We are intentional about supporting SMEs by developing solutions that protect their operations, sustain their expansion, and enhance their resilience against economic shocks,” he said.
The insurer said the Thika office will serve as a service access point aimed at improving customer experience by reducing response time for claims processing and enhancing direct engagement with clients.
By establishing a physical presence in the town, the company is seeking to strengthen distribution channels while positioning itself within one of the country’s fastest-growing industrial corridors.
The expansion is part of the firm’s broader strategy to grow its footprint across emerging commercial centres as it competes for a share of Kenya’s evolving corporate and SME insurance market.
Facebook WhatsApp Twitter LinkedIn Cledun Realtors has won two awards at the Starbrands East Africa ceremony held on Friday, receiving recognition as Real Estate Company of the Year and Most Trusted and Dependable Real Estate Company by Diaspora Investors. The awards mark a significant milestone for the company, which has continued to position itself in Kenya’s property market by serving local and diaspora investors seeking real estate opportunities. Celebrating the achievement, the company thanked its clients, partners and employees, crediting their contribution to its growth and recognition. Cledun Realtors Managing Director Duncan Muiruri said the awards were an encouragement to the company to strengthen its commitment to customer service and deliver value to property investors. “Winning these awards is an important milestone for Cledun Realtors. We appreciate the trust our clients have placed in us, as well as the support of our partners and the dedication of our team. This recognition motivates us to continue improving our services and building lasting relationships with our customers,” Muiruri said. Chief Executive Officer Clement Waweru said the recognition in the diaspora investment category highlighted the importance of trust, dependability and professionalism when helping Kenyans living abroad invest in property back home. “Investing in property requires confidence, transparency and reliable support. We value the trust that diaspora investors and our other clients place in us, and we remain committed to providing professional guidance and dependable service throughout their investment journey,” Waweru said. The award for Most Trusted and Dependable Real Estate Company by Diaspora Investors comes amid the importance of credibility and transparency in property transactions involving Kenyans living abroad. Such investors may depend on real estate companies to provide accurate information, communicate transaction progress and guide them through processes they cannot always oversee in person. Muiruri said the company would continue to value its relationships with customers and partners as it pursues further growth in the sector. “Our clients remain at the centre of what we do. We see this recognition not only as an achievement but also as a responsibility to maintain high standards and continue earning the confidence of the people we serve,” he said. Waweru added that the company’s focus would remain on strengthening customer relationships and supporting investors seeking property opportunities in Kenya. The two awards give Cledun Realtors additional recognition in the competitive real estate market, while placing renewed emphasis on the role of customer confidence and service standards in attracting and retaining property investors. https://www.tiktok.com/@cledunrealtors/video/7697555864311319809…
