OUR HISTORY

We are very proud to inform you that STP’s roots can be traced way back to 1987, and through a progressive journey, the then Sky Insurance Brokers, merged with Market Financial Services in 1994 and became Sky Market. We then opened our doors as SKY TIV in 2006 by merging two well-known brokerages, namely Sky Market Financial Services and TIV Insurance.

A year later, we proudly became a Hollard Select Broker, where Hollard bought a 30% equity share in SKY TIV.

In 2010, following very successful and productive years, we approached Hollard to assist us in purchasing the local brokerage Promark Insurance Brokers, and today are still going strong under the name STP Insurance Brokers.

In 2016, we bought Riverstone Insurance Brokers and at the same time moved to our new offices that year. December 2017 saw us buying out Hollard of their interest in STP, due to a change in regulations.In July 2018, Fulcrum Capital Partners acquired a stake holding in STP. Due to changing regulations in our sector, Fulcrum needed to exit their investment. In April 2019 Medu Capital (https://www.meducapital.co.za/) acquired the Fulcrum shareholding, providing us with excellent and valuable corporate support and expertise.

In 2021 we concluded the acquisition of a stake in leading Johannesburg based brokerage called Kapara Insurance Brokers (www.kapara.co.za). This increases the STP footprint nationally. The transaction also saw Stephen Hanssen assuming the position of MD in Kapara. January 2022 saw STP acquire 100% of TI Brokers in Cape Town.

OUR PARTNERS

We believe that partnerships are key to every successful business, and it is with the guiding hand of Medu Capital that STP will continue to grow from strength to strength. Our alignment does not only extend to their corporate strategic knowhow, but also that their ethos mirrors our own. By providing long term capital and significant management skills, Medu partner with entrepreneurs to grow and develop privately owned businesses.

Owned and managed by Black South Africans, Medu Capital embraces the spirit of a scorecard approach to BEE. With its BEE credentials and strategy, Medu Capital is strategically positioned to participate in the investment opportunities that are created by a strong and growing economy and changes in the socio-economic environment in the country. Medu Capital is also well placed to assist STP in promoting the transformation objectives of the country.

OUR HISTORY

Because we believe in keeping up to date with all the insurance changes and know that, at times, we too will need assistance, STP is a proud member of the FIA (Financial Intermediaries Association of Southern Africa). FIA is there for us, to give our queries, concerns and suggestions a voice, and supports us across platforms such as development, education, promotion and protecting our rights.

Besides our close partnership agreements, STP also acts as an agent for various leading South African insurance companies, always looking to bring our clients the best advice through innovative products.

Training & Staff Development Business

The world of Insurance is constantly evolving as the needs of our clients change. It is for this reason we encourage our staff to attend industry related seminars whether it be virtual or physical, in order to stay up to date with the latest movements in the insurance industry. By doing this, we are confident that not only will we be able to give you the best advice suited to your needs, but this will also develop our staff’s knowledge base and skills.

HOW WE GIVE BACK

STP believes in giving back where possible and so, over the years, we have partnered with a few organisations. STP works hard to build long-term partnerships with community-based organisations such as schools, clubs and sports teams.

Through these partnerships, and the referred business they generate, we are able to assist the organisations financially and contribute towards social upliftment in the communities they serve.

Our corporate social responsibility initiatives include:

  • Annual donations to various NGOs for specific projects that assist AIDS hospices and abused women and children.
  • Monthly contributions to various charitable organisations including the National Sea Rescue Institute and the Red Cross
  • As well as STP trying to reduce their carbon footprint – employees work from home, less travel time – better for the environment.
  • We are totally paperless, again reducing carbon footprint.
  • Use of latest power saving computing
We strongly believe in giving back to our community in the best way we can. Each year, members of our staff gather clothing, food and toys for babies who have been abandoned at a young age. The company also donates funds to help keep these safe havens for children operational so that they can continue giving young abandoned babies of our community a chance at life.

We also partnered up with an NPO that uplifts young girls through sport and academic support. The organization provides skilled coaching and opportunities for the girls to participate in tournaments across the Western Cape. These girls come from underprivileged communities and we strongly believe that through Sport and Education, they have an opportunity to channel their focus to positive activities and diverging them away from the negative activities that are prevalent in these communities which could hinder their growth.

At the end of the year, the company also gathers gifts for an initiative called Santa’s Shoe Box. Volunteering staff members buy Christmas gifts for the less fortunate in efforts to help make their Christmas more special and memorable.

We are constantly doing our best to try and help our community in order to bring about positive changes so that more people have the opportunity to thrive and secure a better future.
