AXA Cooperative, one of the leading non-life international insurers in the region, recently opened three new shops in Saudi Arabia – two in Jeddah and the other in Khobar.

By the end of the year, AXA plans to open a further nine conveniently located shops, throughout the Kingdom, bringing the total to 12, a statement from AXA said.

As part of the company’s multi-access strategy, the AXA Shops initiative aims to enhance the customer experience and provide convenience to customers in the Kingdom. The company will then use these new shops to bring their international expertise, quality service and unique product offerings, to their customers.

"AXA multi-access strategy proposition is a testimony of our ambition to become the preferred insurer to our customers in the Kingdom. Since our inception, we have always believed in innovation – to make our services more available, our approach more attentive and the delivery more reliable,” said Gary Lewin, chief executive of AXA Cooperative.

The AXA Shops initiative will compliment the company’s three existing branches, in Jeddah, Al Khobar, and Riyadh.

“To date, AXA Shops in Jeddah and Khobar have opened to the public, at Red Sea Mall, Jeddah; Auto Mall, Jeddah; and Mall of Dhahran, Khobar. Our strategy is to partner with key retail entities in the Kingdom to ensure we are able to bring insurance to our customers, whenever and wherever they need it,” Lewin said.  

“In 2013, we see significant potential for growth across the Kingdom. Having always achieved very good results in the country, this expansion is part of our commitment to invest and grow along with the recruitment and developments of Saudi nationals within the Kingdom.”

AXA Cooperative, supported by AXA Group, the largest non-life insurer in the world, also announced plans to continue its expansion in the coming years. In doing so, AXA will further enhance its footprint and aim to increase customer service levels in Saudi Arabia. – TradeArabia News Service
