ABOUT US - GRIB

Bricks, Mortar & So Much More ...


Garden Route Insurance Brokers (GRIB) has its roots as far back as 1973 when a small independent brokerage ‘Ian Knight Insurance Brokers’ was formed.

The name was subsequently changed to represent our deep sense of commitment to servicing residents of the Garden Route.

GRIB has grown from a one-man practice to one of the largest independent brokerages in the Southern Cape.

As a well-established, short-term insurance brokerage based in Knysna, we’ve worked hard to grow our business and we pride ourselves on the lasting relationships we've managed to build on trust, integrity and good business practice.

Many of our clients have been with us for over 20 years, testimony to our promise of delivering friendly and professional service.

You'll find our unique range of comprehensive insurance policies are designed and selected to cater for your specific personal and business needs.

Choosing to insure with us means your wealth will be protected and your legacy preserved.

Why not phone us, or pop into our offices off Waterfront Drive, for expert person-to-person advice and a delicious cup of coffee?



Our service promise is based on a set of guiding principles
we like to call the 5Fs:

FAST

FOCUSED

FLEXIBLE
