Old Mutual Namibia proudly marked a significant milestone with the official reopening of its newly unified branch in Mariental on 30 October 2025. The event brought together honoured guests, valued customers, colleagues, and members of the Mariental community to celebrate a new chapter in the company’s journey of service and partnership.

The reopening signified more than just a physical transformation. It represented a renewed commitment to delivering integrated, customer-centric financial solutions. The new branch now houses both Life Assurance and Short-term Insurance services under one roof, streamlining operations and enhancing convenience for customers.

Speaking at the event, Paul-Gordon Guidao-oab, General Manager: Retail Operations and Client Servicing, emphasised the significance of the occasion. “This reopening is a testament to our promise to evolve with our customers’ needs. By bringing our services together in one location, we’re not just improving access; we’re strengthening relationships. Mariental has always shown us resilience and heart, and we are proud to respond with a space that reflects our shared values and future ambitions.”

The event was graced by Her Worship the Mayor of Mariental, Cherien Kock, alongside members of the Management Committee, reaffirming the strong partnership between Old Mutual and the local community.

The unified branch offers a full spectrum of financial services: from funeral policies and vehicle insurance to retirement planning and investment solutions, all delivered by one cohesive team. This integration aims to simplify the customer experience and ensure that every life moment is supported with care and expertise.

The event also served as a heartfelt thank-you to the Mariental community for its unwavering support over the years. Old Mutual reaffirmed its dedication to walking alongside its customers through every stage of life, celebrating successes and navigating challenges together.

As Old Mutual Namibia continues to grow with Mariental, the company remains inspired by the community’s spirit: its hard work, bold dreams, and commitment to building a better future.

“No matter where life takes you,” Guidao-oab added, “Old Mutual will be right here, every step of the way.”
