The name “Assurex Global” has been officially adopted by the former Assurex International, the world’s largest privately held commercial insurance and risk management brokerage group, effective immediately.
“Our name is new, but our mission of delivering unsurpassed insurance services, risk management and employee benefits in every major city of the globe remains unchanged,” announced Assurex Global President and CEO Thomas W. Harvey.
“Assurex Global combines the local strength of domestic Assurex International Partners with the global reach of international Assurex Synergy Group affiliates. United as Assurex Global, Harvey indicated.
The announcement said that the name change more accurately reflects the present make-up of the group and emphasizes its international presence and capabilities. It also noted the appointment of two new Board members, Mike Dixon of HSBC Insurance Brokers Ltd., London and Dietrich Nill of Leue & Nill GmbH, Dortmund, Germany. They’re the first international Partners to serve on Assurex Global’s board of directors.
The announcement indicated that “Assurex Global Partners are among the leading independent insurance agencies in their respective markets. What differentiates Assurex Global from national brokers is that Assurex Global Partners are managed by their owners. Typically employing 100 professionals, Assurex Global Partners deliver property, casualty, surety, life and employee benefits insurance for large and small clients. Assurex Global Partners have preferred relationships with leading domestic and international carriers, including Atlantic Mutual, Chubb, One Beacon, Fireman’s Fund, The Hartford, Royal & SunAlliance, Kemper, UNUMProvident, ACE and St. Paul.”
