Brokers Link seeks deal in South Korea
Global insurance broker network Brokers Link has plans to expand further across Europe and into Malaysia and South Korea, it has confirmed.
Speaking exclusively to Post Europe, Jose Manuel Dias da Fonseca, chairman of the network said: "Brokers Link is not looking for lots of members but we need to be global and local and serve our local countries.
"We are in talks with brokers in South Korea and Romania, and we would also like to be in Malaysia. In Africa we have a partnership with Alexander Forbes so we are represented there."
He explained that the aim was to have at least one broker in every location it wanted to do business in.
Brokers Link currently has a presence in over 60 countries with 70 offices and manages annual premiums of $10.5bn.
