Our Story
![custom-tailored](https://www.vanwykcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/custom-tailored-150x150.png)
After more than a decade of climbing the corporate ladder of a large, national insurance provider, Max knew that his work all came down to the life-long value in which he firmly believed: that we are placed on this earth to serve rather than to be served. In 1982, Max Van Wyk took a leap of faith and opened the doors of his own independent insurance agency.
Max and his valued associates have grown the company to professionally and respectfully serve clients both locally and on a global level. They have developed a vast portfolio of exceptional insurance and risk management products and services. With the innovation and knowledge of this collaborative team, they provide smart and successful solutions to their clients’ unique risks.
All of this has brought the agency to what it is today: A boutique provider of risk management, property & casualty insurance, and group employee benefit solutions. Through vast experience, a hands-on personal approach, and creative thinking, Van Wyk provides custom risk management solutions to people and organizations looking for a true partner. Van Wyk Risk Solutions takes the time to understand the personal and commercial risks of their clients, giving them the confidence and security they need to thrive and be secure.
