Vivian Buijs-Tabbers is benoemd tot algemeen directeur en bestuurder van SuperGarant Groep, waaronder SuperGarant Verzekeringen en SuperGarant Zorg vallen. Daarmee maakt zij de overstap van serviceprovider VKG, ook onderdeel van D&S Group, naar de groep uit Leidschendam.

D&S Group heeft Jan van der Struik benoemd tot directeur Property & Casualty (P&C). Voor deze rol is hij tevens aangesteld als CEO van serviceproviders VKG en Nedasco. Met deze benoeming zet D&S Group een volgende stap in de groei van haar schadeactiviteiten.

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.

Changing insurance products, more complex risks and more intensive supervision… At the same time, customers expect the service provided by advisors to be as personal and digital as possible. Janwillem Fidder, CEO of D&S Group. “We have always believed in the power of advisors. The intermediary forms an indispensable link in the insurance chain. Our mission is to strengthen that power.”

“The coming years will be not just about technology, but about how we maintain the human touch in a digital world. That's where the difference will be made.” – Janwillem Fidder, CEO D&S Group.
