We are trusted advisors
We work every day to ensure you get professional and thorough service. These are the values that make the MDS Group a reputed and respected player on an international scale. 

At MDS, we go beyond the important role of broker. Being your trusted advisor means knowing how we can create value for you. It is this perspective that influences our work at all times. We work closely with you to understand your business and offer you innovative, tailor-made risk management and insurance solutions. 

We invest in multi-specialisation
Our team is now our key differentiating factor. A multi-specialised team, capable of supporting you across different lines of business. An international team, that is visionary and client-oriented. All to provide you with solutions tailored to the needs of your company.

We combine knowledge with an innovative positioning which challenges standards to ensure you the best protection. 

Our highly qualified professionals, with an in-depth knowledge of insurance and risk management, work in conjunction with international experts.

We build relationships
We do not just design insurance programmes. We build a partnership and share knowledge to provide effective protection for you and your organisation. 

In any part of the world, we protect you and your business. Directly, or through Brokerslink, we develop international insurance and risk management programmes and monitor their expansion, wherever you want to go. 

We operate in major insurance, reinsurance and risk management markets, and benefit from close partnerships with the leading global organisations and companies in the industry, allowing us to find the best, most efficient solutions to any risks you may be exposed to.

We invest in state-of-the-art technology
We combine innovation with the creation of new solutions, products and tools - a task that has expertise at its core, and technology to enable all these elements. 

We bring digital transformation through Proximity, our client portal. With simple online access and a user-friendly interface, our corporate clients can manage their insurance portfolios anytime, anywhere, with a guarantee of maximum security and permanent availability.

With our FlexBen platform, we offer an innovative online solution that streamlines the administrative management of flexible benefits. FlexBen provides employees with full autonomy in the management of the individual insurance benefits plan and other compensation solutions. By providing detailed information on all benefits, each plan can be optimised and customised, in a simple and intuitive process, with the aid of an online simulator.
