Occident and the Association of Mediators of Cantabria encourage professional development of the region's insurance sector

"The insurer, which signed a cooperation agreement with this institution, continues to consolidate its commitment to mediation as a strategic distribution channel"

Occident and the Association of Insurance Mediators of Cantabria have renewed a cooperation agreement to foster professional development in the region's mediation industry and to strengthen ties between both entities.

Through this agreement, Occident will actively participate in the training and institutional activities organised by the Association, as well as in meeting spaces with professional mediators from Cantabria. This support consolidates the company's strategic commitment to a distribution model based on proximity, trust, and the technical knowledge of mediators.

The agreement was signed at the Association's headquarters, with representatives from both entities in attendance. Representing Occident was Iñigo Basauri, Occident's North Regional Director for Brokers, who emphasised "Occident's firm commitment to professional mediation as the backbone of business growth in northern Spain". For his part, the president of the Association of Mediators of Cantabria, Víctor J. Carpintero, welcomed the agreement and highlighted "the importance of joining forces with companies that share the vision of qualified mediation that is close to the customer".

With this alliance, Occident continues to strengthen its regional presence and make progress with its 2025-2027 strategic plan, which includes a leading role for mediation in the development of the insurance business, especially in the areas of company and personal insurance.
