Our Story
Westshield Insurance Company was founded to give individuals, businesses and the mining community of Sierra Leone access to insurance protection that meets international standards. Based at 128 Brima Lane, Old Road, Freetown, we work with clients across the country and with partner insurers abroad to place risks that range from everyday property and motor cover to the specialised task of insuring gold, diamonds and other precious commodities.
We understand that a policy is only as good as the claim it pays. That is why every Westshield policy is backed by clear terms, a transparent claims process, and a network of reinsurance partners strong enough to stand behind us when it matters most.
