Middlesea Insurance opens branch on University campus

Middlesea Insurance has opened a branch office on the University of Malta campus.

The office’s product portfolio includes insurance packages tailored to the students’ needs, including students’ health plans and students’ belongings insurance policies, besides discounted motor and home policies.

The Middlesea Students Health plan is designed to provide students with comprehensive insurance, offering a quality alternative to the more expensive traditional health plans. The Middlesea Student Belongings policy provides cover against accidental damage or loss of personal belongings.

The official agreement was signed earlier this month on campus by university rector Juanito Camilleri and Middlesea chairman Joseph F.X. Zahra and president and chief executive Alfredo Muñoz.

Mr Zahra explained that the branch opening was in line with the company’s business philosophy of supporting and investing in education both at employee and at community level.

Prof. Camilleri encouraged other companies to follow Middlesea’s positive and constructive example. He emphasised that it is imperative for the University to have its own funds as this will guarantee long-term sustainability. He explained that donated funds will go towards the Discover University programme which offers students the opportunity to explore the University facilities, courses and ongoing research.

Mr Muñoz highlighted the current company corporate social responsibility policy under which Middlesea Insurance sponsors the Bachelor of Commerce degree specialising in insurance.

“We are honoured that as market leaders in the local insurance industry, we also contribute to the development of future professionals in the industry,” he said.

Middlesea described response to the branch as “very good” with students showing keen interest in insurance cover and its benefits.
