The Finance Centre Department exhibited at the British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) annual conference and exhibition at the ExCel Conference Centre in London's Docklands last week. The BIBA conference is Europe's largest insurance gathering and is attended by thousands of insurance professionals.

Michael Ashton, Senior Finance Centre Executive was accompanied by Maite Parody and Nadiuska Segovia from the Finance Centre Department and Chris Johnson, Chairman of the Gibraltar Insurance Association. The Gibraltar insurance sector was well represented with companies exhibiting and insurance professionals attending the conference.

Gilbert Licudi, the Minister with responsibility for Financial Services stated: “The Government committed in its manifesto to invest in and to facilitate the expansion of Gibraltar's financial services sector. The Finance Centre Department's presence at BIBA, the first time since 2009, is tangible evidence of that commitment. I am pleased to report that there was very significant interest in Gibraltar as a European Union insurance domicile and the Finance Centre Department will be working hard over the coming months to convert a number of serious enquiries into new business opportunities for the benefit of our community."
