Our Purpose
Shackleton Risk Management is dedicated to reshaping the landscape of liability insurance, with a focus on providing clarity and control to our clients, especially working professionals throughout South Africa. Traditionally, the realm of liability insurance has been dominated by large insurance companies, often clouding the true value and necessity of their offerings. This lack of transparency has resulted in unnecessary spending on coverage that may not be essential, driven by pressure to stick with established providers out of fear of making a misstep and overpaying for vital risk protection.
We reject these practices and are committed to empowering our clients with knowledge and tailored options that meet their specific needs. Through transparent risk insurance and management services, Shackleton Risk Management enables professionals to confidently navigate the complexities of liability insurance. Our aim is to ensure that they pay only for the risk coverage they truly require as they progress in their respective fields.
