The first formal Lux Actuaries entity was established in Bahrain in 2007. Following the initial launch of operations in Saudi Arabia in 2006 by founder Ruan van Rensburg, the Bahrain office served as the formal springboard for our regional expansion. Shivash Bhagaloo joined the Bahrain entity in 2008, bringing additional expertise to the team.
