The new office complements Robus’s operations in Guernsey and Gibraltar.
The company has selected insurance industry veteran Jonathan Abela to manage the Malta operation.
Commenting on opening of new office, Abela said: “We don’t exist for Brexit but we exist because some of our clients require the capability to be able to write risk in the EU beyond March 2019. That’s why we are resourcing Robus in Malta.”
