AMSTELVEEN, THE NETHERLANDS -- -Meijers, a leading independent Dutch insurance broker, has further strengthened its international risk management capabilities through expanded global expertise and its active role within leading international broker networks. This was highlighted during a recent Worldwide Broker Network (WBN) gathering in Amsterdam, where international clients and brokers met to coordinate global insurance programmes and discuss emerging global risks.

International business brings opportunity—but also growing complexity. From climate-driven risks and regulatory change to cross-border liability and global insurance coordination, multinational organisations operate in an increasingly challenging risk landscape. Netherlands-based insurance broker supports organisations worldwide with integrated risk management and insurance solutions designed to provide clarity, control, and continuity across borders.

As highlighted in the latest Global & Specialty magazine, Meijers delivers worldwide risk advisory, insurance coordination and specialist expertise across industries and regions, helping organisations navigate international complexity with confidence.

One broker, worldwide coordination

For internationally operating companies, fragmented insurance structures and local policies can create gaps, inefficiencies and compliance risks. Meijers addresses this through globally coordinated insurance programmes supported by strong local expertise. As a single point of contact for Property & Casualty and Employee Benefits worldwide, Meijers combines global programme control with local execution through trusted international partners. This enables organisations to maintain oversight, ensure compliance, manage costs and strengthen resilience against global disruptions.

Worldwide Broker Network meets in Amsterdam

In early February, Amsterdam hosted members of the Worldwide Broker Network (WBN), a leading global alliance of independent insurance brokers and risk management specialists. The event provided international clients with the opportunity to meet the brokers responsible for coordinating their global insurance programmes and to exchange insights on managing risks across multiple jurisdictions.

Through WBN and other international alliances, Meijers offers clients global reach combined with in-depth local knowledge. These partnerships are supported by international claims handling, risk engineering expertise and end-to-end programme coordination, ensuring consistent quality and service worldwide.

Managing global risks in a changing world

Meijers’ Global & Specialty magazine explores the key risk themes shaping international business today, including climate-driven risks, regulatory change, structuring international insurance programmes and the complexity of operating in markets such as the United States.

As organisations expand internationally, risk management has become a strategic discipline rather than a purely operational function. Effective global risk governance enables companies to anticipate change, respond to disruption and support sustainable international growth.

International growth ambitions in Asia

Guido Verheijden, Director Global & Specialty at Meijers, highlights the company’s international growth ambitions, particularly in Asia: “We see strong opportunities to expand our activities in the Far East together with our network partners. Many of our clients are increasing their presence in this region, and we aim to support them locally with the same quality, coordination and risk expertise they expect from Meijers worldwide.” By strengthening collaboration with international partners, Meijers continues to expand its ability to support clients in fast-growing and complex markets.
