A lot has changed since Harry Fuller and the late Colin Cooke established the brokerage in 1981. Today, Cooke Fuller Garrun is a composite brokerage and one of the most recognised brands in the Upper Highway.
The company’s independent financial advisors consider each case individually and tailor objective solutions to achieve the desired results for their clients. This is a composite brokerage, offering holistic financial solutions. Their areas of expertise include domestic and business insurance, investment and retirement planning, estate planning, medical aid, GAP cover and group risk schemes.
Retirement portfolios that were initiated by Harry in the 1980s are now being realised, with Emma and Adrian Fuller (pictured right) making provision for the next generation. “We value our clients’ trust and we work hard to repay it,” says Director Emma. “We want to be first in mind whenever our clients undergo life changes and we will be there to help.”
“In our industry, making a quick buck is easy, but building and maintaining a sustainable business takes hard work, ethical behaviour and commitment,” says Director Adrian Fuller.
Over the years, Cooke Fuller Garrun has developed a range of niche insurance products, designed to cater for the hospitality, fuel retail and pharmacy industries, together with specialist products to meet the insurance needs of medical professionals, high net worth individuals and their businesses.
As a professional organisation, with the necessary infrastructure, Cooke Fuller Garrun can ensure that your financial affairs are kept in order. With 45 qualified employees in their Kloof and Howick offices, they are able to provide the best possible service. “We have clients who pop in just to say hi,” says Emma. “We want them to feel comfortable with us and to treat us like family.”
Aware of their position within the community, the team has, over the years, given their support to Gillitts Primary School and the Jes Foord Foundation. Emma explains: “Education is vital to the future of our country and we want to make a difference. Helping young children and survivors has been a focus of our charitable efforts.”
Cooke Fuller Garrun was built on traditional values that are now supported by modern systems and technology to provide peace of mind to their valued clients. “We are here for our clients and are committed to providing the best possible service, today and into the future.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“We use Cooke Fuller Garrun for our business and personal finance and insurance, and I would never change. My dad has dealt with them since the early 80s and we have come to know them all so well. Colleen is amazing and I know that if something happened in the middle of the night, she would be there for me. That kind of customer service is priceless!”
Kim Marais, Industrial Scrap Metals
“Cooke Fuller Garrun has always looked after our personal and household insurance policies. Thus, when retirement loomed, I had no hesitation in requesting Emma Fuller to apply her financial expertise to my needs. Her personal interest, her integrity and her confidentiality builds trust and confidence in her clients, during what could be a very stressful transition period for many.”
Sharron Lane
“As an entrepreneur, any spare cash (which isn’t a lot) goes into my businesses. However, already 70 years old, there will soon come a time when I will have to hang up my boots. Harry, Emma and the Cooke Fuller Garrun team have always looked after me very well – initially ensuring there was adequate cover while bringing up our children and now ensuring that there is enough available for Wendy and I to live a comfortable life when (and if) we fully retire. At the same time, they have ensured that there is a balance between our personal needs and those of our businesses.
Over the years, the Cooke Fuller Garrun team have built up a clear understanding of our financial requirements and, in the process, lasting and friendly relationships have been cemented.”
