Minet Zambia
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
Minet’s presence in Zambia dates back to 1952 when J.H. Minet Zambia Limited was established as a locally registered insurance broking and risk management company. The company was nationalized in 1976 but J.H. Minet’s involvement continued in the form of a management contract for the nationalized entity, Zambia National Insurance Brokers (ZNIB) until 1989.
In 1996, Minet reinvested in Zambia by way of a green-field operation and was acquired the following year by Aon Corporation by virtue of Aon’s acquisition of the worldwide operations of the Minet Group. As a result, the company became Aon Minet, and subsequently Aon Zambia Limited. In 2017, private equity firm, Capital works acquired Aon’s shareholding in several African operations, alongside local shareholders including governments in many markets, which has created what is now Aon’s largest Global Network Correspondent.
