Occident, the new brand of Plus Ultra Seguros, renews its collaboration agreement with the Association of Insurance Mediators of Castellón

"This way, both organisations will extend their agreement to promote insurance mediation for a further year and will introduce measures and organise activities to increase the expertise of these professionals."

Occident, the new brand of Plus Ultra Seguros, has renewed its alliance with the Association of Insurance Mediators of Castellón with the aim of continuing to promote the activities of the association and to strengthen the standing of insurance brokers in the insurance sector.

As part of the agreement, the insurer will also promote participation in events and activities the Association puts on over the course of the year to support this professional network.

The agreement was signed at the Association's headquarters, in the presence of the Manager of the Castellón branch of Plus Ultra Seguros (Occident), Mónica Gimeno, and the Chairman of the Association of Insurance Mediators of Castellón, Antonio Fabregat, and the Vice-chairman of the company, Fernando Solsona.

During the meeting, Gimeno highlighted the important role played by mediation in the insurers business model and added “thanks to this type of collaboration, we can provide these professionals with the tools required to offer our customers the best possible service.”

Fabregat added "it is a pleasure to count on the support of a leading insurer such as Plus Ultra Seguros, soon to be Occident, for another year. With the renewal, we are consolidating the collaboration that strengthens the development of the profession of insurance mediation, as well as improving insurance distribution and marketing in the province."

Occidente, the new brand of Plus Ultra Seguros

At the end of February, the traditional business companies of GCO (Seguros Catalana Occidente, Plus Ultra Seguros, Seguros Bilbao and NorteHispana Seguros) merged under a single brand, Occident. This union is part of the corporate simplification process that the insurance group put in motion years ago and aims to achieve a more streamlined organisation that responds quickly and effectively to market demands.

The unification process will be implemented in two phases: first, predictably at the end of 2023, the merger of Seguros Catalana Occidente, Plus Ultra Seguros and Seguros Bilbao will take effect, which will then operate under the Occident brand. In a second phase, at a later date, NorteHispana Seguros will also be included.
