“The aim of every Atlas Day is to celebrate our achievements and people’s hard work,” said Atlas Group CEO Michael Gatt during the third Atlas Day, a day of development and relaxation for the group.

“In 10 years, the group has grown from three premises to 12, which include branches all over Malta. We are now present in Birkirkara, Cottonera, Mosta, Paola, Qormi, Rabat, San Gwann, St  Paul’s Bay, Skyparks and Ta’ Xbiex.

The group’s staff complement has grown from 115 to 184 since 2006. Mr Gatt said: “We believe in young people with energy, enthusiasm and drive. In fact, over a third of our staff are in their early 30s. We are also proud to be an equal opportunities employer, with over 50 per cent of our employees being women.

“We have launched new products, such as pet insurance, and more recently, a product for bicycles, the first of its kind in Malta. We saw the need to expand our services to offer an innovative cover so that our clients can concentrate on enjoying their hobby.”

Atlas was the first direct insurer to convert to a Protected Cell Company in the EU, creating its international arm. Over the past decade, Atlas has been recognised as a leading EU PCC expert, having assessed and implemented a variety of direct, third-party, reinsurance and captive cells.

Sister company Jesmond Mizzi Financial Advisors can also count the launch of a new fund among its achievements in 2016, with the launch of the Merill Total Return Income Fund. The fund was launched with seed capital – provided by Atlas Insurance – of €14m and to date has exceeded €20m. The company continues to increase its client base and assets under management.

In 2015, Atlas Healthcare celebrated its 15th anniversary as agents for AXA PPP healthcare, one of the largest medical insurers in the UK. The company has also been a pioneer in many areas, including dental insurance, as well as the launch of a group secretaries’ portal for corporate group administration.

Atlas Healthcare provides several 24/7 services including emergency hospital admission service, emergency GP assistance service and Health at Hand, a free telephone health information service provided on a 24-hour basis.

Besides the landmarks of new branches and products, Atlas has also extended its effort to improve its communication with clients in innovative ways. “I refer to our online chat facility through our website, which was launched in 2012. We have also developed a more customer-centric website which targets clients’ immediate needs, to make their insurance experience a smoother and more convenient one. All of this is only possible because of the enthusiastic and engaged group of people who make up our team,” Mr Gatt said.
