William Russell expands Dubai team on UAE growth
By Ben | Published April 27, 2010
William Russell’s distribution deal with the Dubai Insurance Company is paying off, with large demand for William Russell’s Global Plans spurring the company to add additional staff to the Dubai-based team.
The partnership sells William Russell’s Global Health, Global Life and Global Income Protection products, underwritten by Dubai Insurance Company, which are targeted at small and medium sized expatriate employers and individual expatriates in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In the first quarter of 2010, new group sales have grown 53% over the same period last year and the renewal rate has been at 100% for all plans since November 2009.
With high demand from companies in the United Arab Emirates looking to insure their expatriate employees, William Russell is expanding their office to accommodate the new business, adding a relationship manager for corporate accounts and a claims administrator. Doreen Mboss joins the business as a Corporate Account Manager to maintain and increase business through her client-facing position. Previously, all out-patient claims were processed through William Russell’s UK home office, but with the addition of another claims administrator, eligible out-patient claims will now be processed and paid locally in the Dubai office.
The new additions to William Russell’s Dubai office mean increased levels of service to clients in the area. Customers remain able to freely choose their preferred source of medical treatment, while their claims will now be managed in local currencies within the geographical area, which should expedite claims processing and payment. Group Global Health members are offered access to the Neuron direct settlement network, allowing them cashless access to healthcare facilities in the GCC area.
