Short-term insurer Hollard Namibia last week launched its new car and home insurance offering at a function in Windhoek. 

Titled ‘No. 1 recognises No. 1’, the function profiled Hollard’s new product line and featured a discussion with Tatjana Smith, one of the world’s top female swimmers. 

Following a minute of silence in respect of the passing of Namibia’s Founding President Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma, Olympic gold medallist Smith took to the stage to share her insights on what it takes to be number one in sport and life. 

The world record holder in the 200 metres women’s breaststroke had a clear message: success requires the right mindset, preparation and the ability to adapt. The discussion then switched to the great responsibility that comes with an elevated position and image, as well as how much hard work lies in ensuring that champions leave a positive and enduring legacy. 

The discussion served as a platform for the reveal of Hollard’s new home and car insurance offering. Developed under the banner of ‘No. 1 insurance for your No. 1s’, the products have been designed with Hollard’s unique insights into what consumers regard as their ‘No. 1’ possessions. 

Hollard states that the product range broadens the scope of cover available to Namibians, provides increased levels of cover for greater security, introduces cost-effective flexibility that recognises Namibians’ lifestyles, and offers deep discounts when covering multiple similar items. 

Speaking after the launch, Hollard managing director Richard Aston said “these enhancements to our existing product range reflect our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our clients with innovative and affordable solutions. 

“They reflect our desire to remain Namibia’s No. 1 short-term insurer. To do so, we know that we have to continue listening to our existing customers, as well as attracting new customers. We plan to do that by providing the best cover possible at all times,” he said. 

The launch provided Namibia’s insurance brokers with insights into how Hollard is using technology to streamline its take-on and claims processes to ensure the smoothest possible experience for policyholders. 

Said Aston: “There are two huge moments of truth in insurance – the moment you decide you want to be covered, and the moment a claim event happens. We want to make those moments seamless for brokers and consumers. We’ll continue using technology to improve the quality of the human experience at those moments”.
