ABOUT DRIESASSUR : WHAT WE DO AND WHO WE ARE.

With Driesassur's team - a relationship is built and kept.

At Driesassur, solutions and service are delivered to businesses and individuals based on the philosophy of trust, relationship, risk evaluation and risk reduction rather than just insurance for every situation.

Time is on our side.

We service all countries worldwide through Antwerp, New York, Mumba, Dubai and Hong Kong offices as well as through our corresponding offices in Tokyo, Bangkok and Tel-Aviv.

Whenever an assured has a loss, we immediately appoint a loss adjuster who then visits our Assured at the place where the loss occurred.

As we are only 50 minutes away from London Underwriters, we handle all our claims ourselves and guarantee an exceptionally fast and reliable claims service.

Our corporate philosophy is to serve! Client satisfaction is our highest priority and our greatest asset is the team of more than 50 dedicated professionals in Antwerp, New York, Dubai, Hong-Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and Tel-Aviv committed to achieving that satisfaction.

Clear communication is essential at all times and we thrive on carrying out our duty to our clients professionally. We respect a high code of ethics and are structured to respond rapidly to market changes, offering practical service and solutions at any time.

Driesassur maintains close, confidential links with loss adjusters and surveyors all over the world. This enables us to remain fully informed with the current situation in all the markets we serve.

Service oriented .

Driesassur's product is service-oriented and it is vital that what is printed on the policy document corresponds exactly to what our clients expect and understand. It may take months or years before one is forced to test the strength of the policy wording. But once a claim is made and wording is not right, it's too late. This is why, based on a strong bond of mutual trust, we can give you the wording you require.

All you have to do is keep us fully informed on the developments in your business. When we first write the policy, we do it together, carrefully reviewing all your requirements and examining ways of improving security aspects of your business. Once we have completed this review, we are confident that Driesassur's professional services, together with the assistance of the placing broker, can provide you with the clearly worded policy you want, at competitive premiums.

Luckily, it was insured by DRIESASSUR

Our planet. Opportunity or danger?

Driven on the one hand by the need to discover and conquer new markets but confronted on the other hand by all the problems of geography, language, culture and last but not least the pressures of demanding consumers.

The success of any business is, without doubt, consumer driven and as markets become more open, pressures increase on price, efficiency and performance of products and services, often forcing businesses to reorganise and spread their manufacturing bases.

Add these to the normal degree of risk involved in any business venture, and the need for professional assistance becomes apparent .

Our Corporate philosophy to serve.

Our corporate philosophy - to Serve : Client satisfaction is our highest priority and our greatest asset is the team of 50 dedicated professionals committed to achieving that satisfaction. Clear communication is essential at all times and we thrive on carrying out our duty to our clients professionally. We respect a high code of ethics and are structured to respond rapidly to market changes, offering practical service and solutions at any time.

Trust !

Short-term thinking or superficial solutions have no place in our business. At Driesassur we work closely with our clients to develop the ideal parameters and conditions which reduce risks to the absolute minimum. From time to time, however, we are requested to provide quotes for new prospects simply to compare prices and are unable to go into the wording of the policy, which is so essential. What people too often forget is that a policy is not about how much you are insured for, but what you are insured for!

To expand our portfolio of clients, we adhere to the same rule which applies in the diamond trade: Trust. We will only approach those traders whose reputation speaks for itself, or who have been recommended by one of our own clients. For us, the size of an account is not relevant. Far more important is the integrity of the people we work for. Consequently we are able to service all of our accounts with the same level of dedication to meeting their insurance requirements efficiently and competitively.

Staying in control.

We are proud of the trust and understanding that Driesassur has built up over the past 50 years with the underwriters and placing brokers with whom we deal. We make a point of visiting our underwriters as often as possible, but we also insist that they travel world-wide to experience for themselves the risks that they are covering and to have candid, face-to-face discussions with assureds. Open business relationships like this help promote the valuable exchange of thoughts between insurer and insured.

We also constantly review and improve our policy wording so that we can offer the best possible cover. Driesassur's product is service-oriented and it is vital that what is printed on the policy document corresponds exactly to what our clients expect and understand. It may take months or years before you are forced to test the strength of the policy wording. But once you make a claim and the wording is not right, it's too late.

That is why, based on a strong bond of mutual trust, we can give you the wording you require.

Over 60 years of experience and professional service.

The Underwriters we work with are experts in the diamond and jewellery trade and are working for highly rated Insurance Companies in the UK and overseas, as well as syndicates at Lloyd's all offering a prompt claims service, irrespective of the amounts involved. In all countries where we have assureds, we use several loss adjusting firms who are ready to service our assureds 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
