SATIB Insurance Brokers and Land Rover join forces

Land Rover, a vehicle supplier to the Tourism and Leisure industry, along with SATIB Insurance Brokers, specialists in insuring the same industry have entered into a mutually-beneficial partnership. The two companies will pursue the quest to improve the industry - enriching guest experiences, service delivery efficiency and overall safety.

SATIB have committed to encouraging proper education amongst their staff, clients and the industry associations they are involved in on the risk benefits associated with the use of vehicles designed to accommodate the demanding needs of the Tourism and Leisure industry. SATIB will bring its 22 years of experience in the industry to assist Land Rover in any future initiatives they have planned.

"We are very excited about our association with an iconic brand such as Land Rover," says Gavin Courtenay, managing director of SATIB Insurance Brokers. "We believe we can add real value to Land Rover's ambitions in developing new products for the tourism industry which will be for the benefit of the industry and ultimately the tourists they host at their establishments."

Focusing on African wildlife conservation projects

Land Rover in turn, has committed to be donors in kind and business partners of the SATIB Trust, the NGO set up and managed through SATIB focusing on a variety of wildlife and conservation projects within Southern Africa. At present, two Land Rover Freelanders have been donated to monitor the South African conservation projects being facilitated and funded by the SATIB Trust.

"We look forward to partnering with SATIB Insurance Brokers," says Kevin Flynn, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa. "In addition to sharing similar business objectives, both Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and SATIB Insurance Brokers are committed to preserving our environment and our wildlife."

JLRSA & SSA has supported African Wild Dog conservation extensively through its involvement with the Endangered Wildlife Trust. Further to this, the company's involvement with the Born Free Foundation and N/a'an ku sê are aimed at protecting the environment for future generations, while empowering local communities with far-reaching health, education and skills enhancement initiatives.

"Through the SATIB Trust we aim to further extend our involvement in African wildlife conservation. As a corporation we feel we have an essential role to play in contributing towards the sustainable development of our environment and our wildlife and are able to make a meaningful and valuable contribution that will be felt by our generation, and those to come," adds Flynn.

Brian Courtenay, chairman of SATIB Trust says: "We are honoured to have Land Rover on board as a corporate business partner and sponsor. With our recent donation at Indaba 2012 of a Land Rover Defender 4x4 for Wildcru (Oxford University) Hwange Lion Research, this shows our commitment to the Land Rover brand, who has long-been associated with conservation initiatives such as the Born Free Foundation (involving Lions) and the Endangered Wildlife Trust (Wild Dog projects). Through SATIB Trust we will promote the Land Rover brand throughout Africa."
