Since inception in Cyprus 1998, it brings me great pride to say Chedid Re has grown from a modest office, to a reinsurance broking powerhouse, ranking first in the MENA region with operations running from more than 45 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.As an iconic insurance solutions provider, our offices in Limassol, Beirut, London, Casablanca, Riyadh and Dubai, have forged fruitful partnerships with some of the most trusted reinsurance groups; including Chedid Re's outstanding track record as an appointed Lloyd's broker. With nearly two decades of excellence under its belt, Chedid Re's perfect synergy of customer-centricity, solid management expertise, powerful partnerships and innovative products, continues to fuel the company's expansion plan, which aims to target and reach all developing and thriving markets across the world. Today, we are recognized as one of the top 20 reinsurance brokers in the world. Over the years, we have worked ambitiously to become experts and leaders in the market. Our dedication to this pursuit earned its recognition when we were awarded the "Reinsurance Broker of the Year" at the Gulf Insurance Awards 2010, followed by the "MENA Insurance Awards" in 2011 and the INSUREX Awards three years in a row, and most recently in 2015, The Middle East Industry Award. With that said, we look forward to achieving many more.Farid ChedidChairman & Group CEO
