Two students have been sponsored by an international business body to attend a major conference on insurance.

The Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers (Abir) have backed Kishana Thomas Quallo and Edward Gouveia DeSousa, both Bermuda Insurance Institute (BII) students, so they can go to the Bermuda Insurance Market Conference, due to be held tomorrow and Friday.

Abir senior vice-president, deputy director and corporate secretary Leila Madeiros said: “On behalf of Abir’s board, we are pleased to donate two of our sponsorship tickets to these students as part of Abir’s continued support of the conference and the BII and its opportunities to educate students about our industry and the contributions that insurance and reinsurance make to both the local and global economy.”
