Europ Assistance named Insurer/Underwriter of the Year 2007

Europ Assistance UK & Ireland has been named International Travel Insurance Journal Insurer/Underwriter of the Year. The award was presented to Giorgio Daboni, Director of Risk & Underwriting at Europ Assistance at the fifth annual International Travel Insurance Conference in Venice on 9 November 2007.

Europ Assistance beat off competition from major travel industry players to take the accolade due to its capacity to offer its customers a comprehensive range of assistance and insurance services.

”This award helps to underline that Europ Assistance is becoming increasingly recognised as a strong and valuable partner in the travel insurance marketplace,” comments Paul Everett, Director of Sales and Client Services, Europ Assistance.

“Throughout 2007 we have continued to support our existing clients and intermediary partners, winning new business throughout the year. This has been achieved through enhanced products and services, working with them to launch into new distribution channels such as comparison sites and e-commerce. We look forward to the challenges ahead in 2008, where we will continue with our innovative pricing and service led propositions. In addition we will maintain our focus on the acquisition of new business accounts both in the UK and across Europe, whilst developing Pan European propositions and ecommerce capabilities.”
