Mondial Assistance UK is changing its trading name to Allianz Global Assistance, aligning the brand with its parent, the Allianz Group.

Mondial Assistance UK has been part of the Allianz Group of companies for more than 10 years, with Allianz being one of the leading integrated financial services providers worldwide.

The migration to Allianz Global Assistance has already commenced within the Group, with its headquarters in Paris, along with other business units across Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific region already trading as Allianz Global Assistance. The rebranding takes place from October 1.

Serge Corel, chief executive of Allianz Global Assistance in the UK and Ireland, said: "This is an exciting move for us, as we continue to build upon our position as part of the largest assistance company in the world. We remain focused on helping our clients deliver effective and innovative solutions for their customers. Our teams, infrastructures and brand values will remain the same, offering our clients the same passion for helping people and engineering solutions for their customers."

Lee Taylor, chief sales officer for Allianz Global Assistance in the UK added: "We have been working with our clients to ensure we deliver a successful and seamless transition. This is an exciting step forward for the business, but our clients will continue to benefit from our transparent branding enabling products and services to be delivered under their own brand, or they can adopt the new Allianz Global Assistance brand."
