Mondial and Inkerman Group take travel cover “to a new level”

As international specialists in business risk and intelligence, The Inkerman Group is now working with Mondial Assistance UK to create bespoke travel solutions, offering businesses a high level of protection for their staff.

Through its Travel Safe and Tracker solutions, The Inkerman Group already identifies risks, threats and vulnerabilities facing businesses today, and provides information, advice and leading-edge tracking solutions which enable companies to know where their staff are at any point in time.

The company’s 24/7 Operations Centre provides the monitoring, tracking and response services essential to the delivery of these products, and which link directly with the Mondial Assistance network worldwide.

The collective global expertise of Mondial Assistance and The Inkerman Group can now offer a comprehensive range of services including travel insurance, in-country information, integrated booking systems and tracking services.

The new insurance product offers basic cover with an add-on available for travel to certain higher risk areas, allowing clients to reduce risk and protect their employees while they work abroad.

Extensive protection for business travellers

“This is an exciting expansion of The Inkerman Group’s offering as we work closely with Mondial Assistance to deliver extensive protection for business travellers in high risk areas around the world,” said Gerald Moor, CEO of The Inkerman Group.

“When it comes to protecting employees abroad and reducing risk, prevention is definitely better than cure. However, it’s of real value and extremely important to know that if things do go wrong, staff will have access to a global network of experts in insurance and assistance. That’s exactly what we offer through our partnership with Mondial Assistance.”

Moor concluded: “Working with Mondial Assistance to deliver a complete travel insurance and Travel Safe service is a natural progression for our business, bringing our clients even greater security for their employees through a tailor-made insurance and assistance package delivered on a truly global scale.”

Ben Smart, the corporate and travel sales director for Mondial Assistance in the UK, commented: “Working closely with The Inkerman Group, we have now developed an extended insurance product that helps businesses prepare for the risks their staff may encounter on a trip abroad.”

Smart insisted: “Our worldwide network of medical, insurance and assistance professionals means we can offer the support travellers need if things should go wrong while they’re overseas.”

In conclusion, Smart explained: “This new product is a further illustration of our innovative approach to meeting the needs of our clients, providing high level solutions that offer the best quality care and protection.”
