Hiscox celebrated its 20th anniversary in Portugal by gathering more than 150 brokers and industry experts from the country, along with international leaders, to mark the occasion and plan for direct operations. The event happened last Thursday at Sud Lisboa and included speeches from Emérico Gonçalves, Commercial Director of Hiscox Portugal; Robert Dietrich, CEO for Europe; David Heras, CEO Iberia; and Filipe Homem, COO Portugal.
The event covered important achievements in the Portuguese market, along with current trends and challenges in the insurance industry.
Hiscox also introduced new efforts to work more closely with brokers, continuing its strategy of being close to clients, sharing knowledge, and showing strong commitment.
Emérico Gonçalves said, “This event let us celebrate 20 years in Portugal and show our commitment as we start direct operations.”
Filipe Homem added that the milestone was possible because of the hard work of Hiscox’s team and the trust from their partners. Robert Dietrich mentioned that Hiscox is focused on supporting the growing Portuguese insurance market with new and innovative solutions.
Right now, Hiscox has around 600 professionals working in Lisbon and keeps investing in the national market.
This shows the company’s continued focus on innovation, being close to customers, and building strong relationships with their brokerage partners.
