Banner Branches Out With Birdlife

BirdLife International Ltd has appointed Banner Financial Services Group Ltd to provide their group International Travel and Personal Accident Insurance scheme. As a global partnership of conservation organisations, Birdlife works in over one hundred countries and territories, and required specialist insurance provision to ensure adequate and consistent levels of protection for their overseas staff.

Banner Financial Services Group Ltd have been providing specialist international travel and medical expenses insurance cover, for individuals of all nationalities working and living outside of their country of domicile, for over fifteen years. Having grown to become the largest provider of specialist insurance in the missionary aid and NGO sectors in the UK, Banner has built on its established relationships with key Insurers to secure a range of cover that meets the variety and complexity of operations undertaken.

Commenting on the appointment Tracy Spraggon, Contracts and Legal Compliance Manager for BirdLife said:

‘Banner were able to provide comprehensive travel insurance covering our employees in our overseas regional offices, thereby giving us reassurance that all our staff are now covered by one policy instead of regional managers having to take out separate policies as and when needed. The Banner staff were really supportive throughout the process, always providing friendly helpful advice and responding quickly to any questions we had.’

Banner has already proved itself expert in keeping personnel on the ground when no other providers have been willing to offer cover, and this development continues its planned expansion within the NGO sector.
