General & Medical Insurance Ltd

Based in Guernsey in The Channel Islands, General & Medical Insurance Ltd was formed in 2006 as the commercial insurer for the General & Medical Group, initially to underwrite the UK medical risk for the Group. As it has grown and developed under the guidance and direction of a highly experienced board of directors we have increasingly underwritten other types of risk through the insurance company.

Guernsey has a long established Financial Sector, the high levels of expertise available in all areas of general insurance is an important factor in enabling General & Medical to develop and grow its Commercial Insurance business.
