"Here in the UK our dynamic lifecare services have provided us with an opportunity to benefit new markets, whilst our strong and focused team remains loyal to strengthening our core offerings in the automotive and travel arena.
"Our move from Mondial Assistance to Allianz Global Assistance over the next 12 months, which sees us reinforce our position as the world leader in assistance, will be carefully orchestrated to ensure a seamless but confident transition for our clients."
