(Hamilton, Bermuda, October 17, 2016) - The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has awarded the prestigious ‘Chartered Insurer’ title to Argus Insurance Company (Europe) Limited, the Argus Group’s Gibraltar-based insurance company, and one of Gibraltar’s leading providers of insurance advice and support.

The Chartered Insurer status is an exclusive title awarded only to firms that meet rigorous criteria relating to professionalism and capability. All Chartered Insurers commit to the CII’s Code of Ethics, reinforcing the highest standards of professional practice in their business dealings.

Argus Insurance Company (Europe) Limited specialises in providing insurance for individuals and businesses in Gibraltar as well as in Malta.

The Chartered Insurer title is highly exclusive and reserved for leading insurance firms around the world. Joining other worldwide Chartered Insurers, Argus earns formal recognition that we work hard every day to provide consistent and world-class service to meet the needs of our diverse client base.”
