BECOMING ONE GLOBAL ENTITY
“ We ’ ve been operating as different businesses in different countries ,” begins Doble , “ and the core of the business strategy is the unification of the company as a single global enterprise with consistent products to accelerate technology and remain customer-centric , while leveraging the expertise of our parent company , Zurich .” Cover-More made a number of acquisitions over the last few years ,
including Halo Insurance , Universal Assistance , Travelex Insurance Services , Blue Insurance and Travel Ace Assistance . The workshop taking place at the Zurich building , London , UK , enables Doble and the rest of the team to reevaluate the company ’ s centralised and regional functions , and ensure that the acquired companies are receiving the support needed to standardise products . “ These companies will assist with Cover-More obtaining a truly global footprint , as they are digital and complementary to the traditional function of Cover-More ,” says Morton .
