Young Italian insurers’ association launches in London
The Unione dei Giovani Assicuratori e Riassicuratori Italiani has officially launched in London to welcome members working in other countries.
Ugari, which was formed by 19 professionals from insurance companies, agents, brokers, loss adjusters, risk managers and service providers, said its aims are to "help young talents who want to have a career in insurance."
Chief executive officer Enrico Bertanga said the the association aims to promote values and talents in the Italian insurance industry and strengthen the profile of the industry both in Italy and abroad.
The association was officially launched in Milan in 2009 and claims to already have 1000 members.
David Armes from Markel, which sponsored the event, said: "Italy is an important market for the PFR Division of Markel International - in fact it's our third largest market.
"Markel are pleased to contribute to increase the professionalism and innovation in the Italian insurance market."
Ugari was launched in Italian Ambassador's Residence, in Grosvenor Square, and Alain Giorgio Maria Economides, the ambassador, said he was impressed by the large community of Italian that works in the insurance industry in the city and stressed the importance of investing in the future of young talent.
