"The brand that will bring together the traditional business of Grupo Catalana Occidente (GCO) has thus extended for another year the agreement that Seguros Catalana Occidente had to take measures to contribute to the professional development of the sector. "
Seguros Catalana Occidente, which will soon become Occident, and the Association of Insurance Brokers of Almería have renewed their collaboration agreement in a bid to strengthen the standing of insurance mediators and promote their activities in this province.
Both entities will thus continue with their work to promote mediation and introduce measures to enable these professionals to increase their expertise and improve the services they offer to their customers. In addition, as part of this agreement, Occident will also be present at conferences, seminars and other activities promoted by the Association.
The agreement was signed at the premises of the association and was attended by the president of the Association of Insurance Brokers of Almería, Elena Linares; and the Territorial Director of Brokers of Almería, Granada, Málaga and Jaén of Seguros Catalana Occidente, Francisco Turatti. The two were accompanied by José María Gil and Elias Alonso, vice-chairman and secretary, respectively, of the Association.
Turatti noted that the agreement "will facilitate the joint development of initiatives that will further improve the brokerage and insurance sector". Linares expressed her satisfaction and gratitude to Seguros Catalana Occidente for "trusting in the joint project through its new Occident brand".
At the end of February, Occident, the new brand of Seguros Catalana Occidente
(GCO) announced the merging of its traditional business companies (Seguros Catalana Occidente, Plus Ultra Seguros, Seguros Bilbao and NorteHispana Seguros) under a single brand, Occident. This merger 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, foreseeably 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.
