All claims are overseen by senior personnel to ensure uniformity
of approach, and where appropriate specialists independent consultants and laboratories
may be instructed to investigate specific aspects of individual losses. In particular,
our nucleus of specialists based in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda can be rapidly
allocated to assignments due to their close vicinity. All of our personnel are
fluent in English, most also speak Kiswahili whereas French and other European
languages are spoken together with various Indian tongues.
The following senior Executives comprise an Executive Management Committee, which
is accountable for the day to day operations of the company:
