D&S Group has entered into an exclusive partnership with Eir Försäkring AB, an innovative digital insurer from Sweden. Thanks to this partnership, Felison, part of D&S, is the only party in the Netherlands authorised to offer Eir Försäkring AB's conventional absence cover.

To support ambitious agents in taking the step towards entrepreneurship, D&S Group has launched the 'Agent of the Future' ("Adviseur van de Toekomst") programme. Participants will receive support in setting up their own advisory firm and will have access to a wide range of attractive insurance products from various providers, as well as IT support. The programme aims to help talented agents realise their entrepreneurial dreams.

On 12 January, Jan van der Struik started as chief operating officer P&C at D&S Group. Jan will focus on further strengthening claims distribution via the intermediary. D&S Group does this by unburdening the intermediary as much as possible with a platform that combines high-quality advice and a broad product range with operational efficiency.
