GIIA's Achievements

GIIA's Main Committee, Regulatory and Technical Committee and Market Development Committee, together with its network of sub-sector specific working groups, are made up of industry professionals. GIIA provides a hub for innovation and discussion, a place to nurture and develop ideas and a mechanism to achieve them. GIIA is a lobbying body and is an integral part of ensuring the voices of the Guernsey Insurance Industry are heard by the local Government, international bodies and Regulators. We also campaign for the development of Guernsey's insurance regulations. The Association works to promote Guernsey's insurance industry and in partnership with We are Guernsey, contributes to webinars, events, literature content development, adverts and paid content.
