Anne Collette, Director of Business Operations at Brokerslink commented:
“We are very pleased to welcome our newest affiliate GGW. With a wide range of core insurance lines, and in-house lawyers, business management experts, economists and insurance experts, brokers across our network will benefit from the business’s 250+ years of expertise in the dynamic German market and highly customized offerings for medium-sized enterprises. I’m looking forward to working closely with the team at GGW and developing a strong relationship with such an established broking business.”
Emanuel Wessel, Managing Partner at GGW, added:
“Our core focus is to provide advice for German medium-sized businesses and industries (“German Mittelstand”), that have often been privately owned for generations and that typically have an international exposure. Thanks to our partnership with the independent brokers from the Brokerslink network, operating in over 130 countries, our strong international department in Hamburg will be able to improve the wide range of global services we are offering to our clients even further. We are looking forward to joining Brokerslink.”
