Thanks to our thoroughgoing expertise of this target group and the types of insurance, we will be in a position to give them the best possible support. Like Driesassur, we set great store by strong personal relations. We will therefore make every effort to ensure a smooth transition and achieve high client satisfaction in the short and long term.”

Alain Spruyt, Managing Director at Driesassur: “Today we are already a well-established name in Belgium and internationally in the insurance business for art and the diamond and jewellery trade. We have the ambition to grow further in these niches over the coming years. That is why we are very pleased to have found in Vanbreda a suitable partner for our traditional insurance portfolio. We have every confidence that they will promote the interests of these common clients.”
