The Chartered Insurance Institute (“CII”) has awarded the ACE Group's U.K. retail property and casualty operations Chartered Insurer status.
Chartered Insurers must prove that they work in an ethical manner that places clients' interests at the heart of the service they provide. Granted by the Privy Council, the Chartered title gives insurers parity in terms of professional recognition with other companies, such as accountants and solicitors.
David Robinson, the regional president of ACE UK & Ireland said, “We are delighted to have attained Chartered Insurer status. It is a significant achievement, and it is further evidence of our commitment to provide exceptional service to our clients. We face increased scrutiny from regulators and clients, and by attaining this status ACE has achieved industry recognition of professional excellence. I am proud that our commitment to ensuring that our staff acquire and maintain the highest level of skills required to deliver quality service across all areas of the business has been recognized by the CII. I am also pleased with the contribution ACE has made to raising service standards within our profession.”
Dr. Sandy Scott, the chief executive officer of the Chartered Insurance Institute, commented, “ACE clearly demonstrated that it delivers the professional standards required to attain Chartered Insurer status. At the CII we firmly believe that the exacting standards required to achieve Chartered Status are vital to the future success of the insurance sector, not only to be viewed as a credible career choice, but also to raise the reputation of the profession as a whole, through the quality of service, advice, and support provided to clients.”
