 Regional Service |
Founded in Lille in 1907, Gras Savoye has always favoured the development of its activities at a local level to provide its clients with local service. It is today the leading broking insurance network in France with :
- 25 offices and subsidiaries in France
- 5 offices and subsidiaries in the French Overseas Territories and Departments.
In France, Gras Savoye was the first broker to develop an independent risk management consulting activity by setting up in 1973 a risk engineering department, which has today become a subsidiary in its own right under the name of Sageris.
With Gras Savoye Ré, Gras Savoye benefits from the advantages of having a totally independent reinsurance entity which gives it special access to the very closed world of reinsurance.
