Minet Kenya has strengthened its position as one of East Africa’s leading risk advisory and insurance firms after securing eight accolades at the prestigious 2026 Think Business Insurance Awards. The sweep reinforces the company’s strong operational performance and validate its long-term strategy of combining deep technical expertise, digital innovation and customer-centric advisory services.
Among the top honours, Minet Kenya was named Best Corporate Broker, Best Personal Lines Broker, and Best Innovator in New & Emerging Risks, while also earning First Runner-Up positions in the General Broker of the Year, Life Broker of the Year and Overall Broker of the Year categories. The company received additional recognition for excellence in Medical Brokerage and Customer Centricity, reflecting the breadth of its capabilities and its commitment to delivering value to both institutional and individual clients.
As Kenya’s insurance industry continues to evolve, opportunities for growth remain substantial. According to the Insurance Regulatory Authority, insurance penetration currently stands at approximately 2.4 percent, highlighting significant room for growth. Against this backdrop, Minet Kenya has continued to expand access to insurance solutions by investing in digital distribution channels and developing products tailored to the changing risk landscape facing businesses and individuals.
A standout achievement at this year’s awards was the firm’s recognition as Best Innovator in New & Emerging Risks, which highlighted the company’s growing focus on helping clients address increasingly complex threats such as cyber risk, climate-related events, supply chain disruptions and evolving regulatory requirements.
Commenting on the achievement, Minet Kenya Chief Executive Officer Sammy Muthui said the awards reflect the company’s long-term commitment to delivering measurable value through innovation and trusted advisory.
“These awards are a strong endorsement of the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our teams who work every day to help organisations and individuals manage risk with confidence. The risk landscape today is very complex, but we remain capable and available to deliver practical solutions that protect our clients today while preparing them for tomorrow’s challenges. We remain committed to raising the standard of insurance brokerage and risk advisory in Kenya and across the region,” he noted.
