New to the family: Vogelzang and Mediare

Since the beginning of March, Vogelzang Insurances and Mortgages from Oldenzaal and Mediare Financial Advice from Duiven have become part of Alpina Group. We welcome them to our family of strong brands. Together we take another step forward in our ambition to be close to our customers. Local and personal.

On to Twente

It has long been our wish to serve customers in Twente better. The arrival of Vogelzang in Oldenzaal is a great first step in this direction.
Vogelzang was owned by Marcel Vogelzang. He will remain involved as ambassador and point of contact. The five employees will also remain the familiar face for customers and relations. In time, the office will continue as Alpina Oldenzaal. For now, the name Vogelzang will continue to exist.

Martijn Boerrigter, office manager of Alpina Nijverdal, will be the new director:
"There has long been a good relationship between Alpina and Vogelzang. We share the desire to mean more to clients in Twente. By working together, we combine Vogelzang's regional knowledge with Alpina Group's broad range of products. That offers opportunities for further growth in this region."

Specialist from Duiven

Mediare Financial Advice also joins Alpina Group. Based in Duiven, Mediare has built a strong position in business insurance, with specializations in risk management, income and disability.

The portfolio and employee will become part of Stefan Kattenbeld's team in Doetinchem. The office in Duiven will be closed.

Stefan:
"We have been working with Mediare through Claeren, UPIVA and Mandaat Assuradeuren for some time. It is great that we are now strengthening this cooperation further. Mediare's expertise fits seamlessly with our business services. We are therefore pleased to welcome with Eric Hellewaard an experienced and knowledgeable specialist."

Building further together

With the arrival of Vogelzang and Mediare, we are strengthening our position in both Twente and Achterhoek. We continue to build an organization that is locally rooted and at the same time utilizes the strength of the group.

This is how we continue to do what we stand for: helping customers with financial security, in a way that suits them. Today and tomorrow.
