TOFIELD - ACII
DIRECTOR
Ian
Tofield is a Complete Insurance man, with
long experience in all classes of Insurance
Business and Insurance company Administration.
He
started his direct Insurance career in 1955
in London and first arrived in Africa in
1961, when he spent eight years in Accra
before moving on to Kaduna, then Lagos for
another eight years.
In
1977, he moved over to Reinsurance and set
up a new Regional office in Abidjan, from
where he covered the whole of West Africa.
Six
years later, after twenty two years in West
Africa, he was recalled to the head office
of his company in Munich, from where he
gradually extended his operations to include
the whole of the African Continent. In 1995,
he moved the entire Management of the portfolio
to Johannesburg, where he is still resident
following his retirement from full-time
employment in early 2002.
He
is far from inactive, however, because,
apart from involving himself with his young
second family, he undertakes consultancy
activities throughout Africa for direct
writing Insurance Companies and for a Reinsurance
Broker.
He
is a Chartered Insurer and speaks fluently
in English, French and Germany. Africa is
his chosen domicile and spiritual home.
