The end result of a consolidation of a number of local brokerages and then mergers within the Channel Islands and London Insurance sectors, CCV Jersey has recently launched its new website to serve the finance and business communities in Jersey.

Designed for local corporate and financial institutions, private businesses, developers, tradesmen and entrepreneurs, the website aims to provide comprehensive product information, with a focus on Commercial Insurance lines, along with updates on relevant Business Insurance topics.

As a result, it is hoped that www.ccvjersey.com will become the business community’s first port of call for Insurance related queries, and that it will mark a new beginning for the company following its ownership and name evolution over the years*.

The local Insurance broker may have enjoyed many different guises, however during this time, the Jersey team of 23 has remained constant, and has continued to work closely with its clients to ensure that they receive bespoke products; specific to the needs of a clients’ organisation, structure and industry sector; backed by a service they believe is second to none.

“The new website is aimed at existing and new customers; providing comprehensive information regarding products and services, whilst covering a variety of general Insurance topics and updated news features. Initial response from our clients has been very positive and, over time, it is hoped that www.ccvjersey.com will become the business community’s first port of call for Insurance related queries,” commented Gary Boon, Head of Office at CCV Jersey.

“We have had quite a history of owners and brand names over the years, although during this time we have managed to steer a steady course in terms of the team and the clients we serve. We hope now that the website will mark a new beginning in terms of our company name also.”

Developed locally by CIM Award Winners, BlueBox Creative, with Business Consultancy and Project Management provided by Immediate Impact, the new website has the facility to give online guidance to business owners in relation to their Commercial Insurance needs, and also provides a first-rate Enquiry and Call Back system.

Ends.

Note to Editors:
*Company History
• Initially Ermitage Insurance Services, the company was purchased by Robert Gordon, a subsidiary of Price Forbes and Alexander Forbes in 1996. Following a worldwide rebranding, the Alexander Forbes name was adopted leading to the formation of Alexander Forbes Jersey Ltd in 1998.
• The company purchased local broking business Martin Gray (CI) Ltd in 2000 and became Alexander Forbes CI Ltd, taking on the Guernsey office. Marsh Jersey Ltd and Shepherd Ltd were then purchased in 2004.
• In 2007 Alexander Forbes agreed to sell its UK general insurance division to Lockton International, an American insurance broking business; and then in May 2008 Lockton accepted an offer from Cullum Capital Ventures to purchase the Jersey business, as it was looking to acquire well run and profitable regional broking businesses.
