12/01/2006

Citybond Suretravel, a division of Citybond Holdings Plc, have just renewed their Retail Scheme with Europ Assistance for a further two years. A key feature of the 2006 Scheme is the inclusion of Medical Expenses and Personal Accident cover for Acts of Terrorism as standard. Once again, Citybond are aiming to meet the ever-changing needs of the modern traveller aged between 1 and 85 years.

Citybond’s Broking Director, Greg Lawson, confirmed that working closely with Europ Assistance for the last two years has reaped major benefits for both entities. “By taking the innovative and unique step of providing a medical screening solution via the web for agents and clients alike, as well as persistent vigilance about the quality of our book, we have managed to further improve the performance of our scheme for the third year running. This bodes well for the industry and is a classic example of the benefits of close, effective partnership with your chosen carrier.”

Says Fiona McDonald, Head of Underwriting at Europ Assistance, “Citybond have done a great job in building a stable book of business and we are delighted to extend our partnership for a further two years. They have a first-class management team and have in-house operating and reporting systems that enable us to be innovative in the way we assess and underwrite risks. We look forward to continuing to reap the benefits of our close relationship”
