Home About Us

The Real Heart of a
Successful Business
Is Its People.

Founded in 1998 by Henry M. Sisya ACII, Kingfisher has grown from a staff of 4 and MK 500,000 in premiums to become one of Malawi's most respected independent insurance brokerage firms — with over MK 6 billion in annual premium turnover.

Our Story

Built on a Simple Belief

Henry M. Sisya ACII, Chartered Insurance Broker, founded Kingfisher Insurance Brokers & Consultants Limited in 1998 — initially focused on providing insurance for assets purchased under lease or hire purchase arrangements. From those focused beginnings, Kingfisher evolved rapidly into a full-service brokerage by understanding and working not only with the local Malawi insurance market, but also with international markets including Lloyd's of London.

Today, Kingfisher leverages over two decades of well-known experience and vast expertise to offer the correct advice to all types of businesses — as well as the most comprehensive cover at extremely competitive prices. We access strong local insurers and negotiate reinsurance placement through our global network partners including Willis Towers Watson, Price Forbes, Lockton, and OLEA Insurance Solutions.

What makes Kingfisher different is our attitude and approach — the way we deliver exceptional service through our core values of client-partnership, innovation, integrity, accountability, and communication. We take time to understand your business needs and pride ourselves on our technical expertise and quality of communication with our clients.
