Stringer & Partners AG (formerly known as NVC Zürich AG) was founded in 1998 in Zürich as an affiliate of NVC Neutrales Versicherungs-Center AG, Basel. In 2016, prior to the sale of NVC to investors, the company moved to Reinach BL and was rebranded. Stringer & Partners AG focused initially on fiduciary services (i.e. bookkeeping & taxes) before reintroducing the insurance consulting department as one of the main areas of business in 2017. It is our mission to offer quality services focused on building long-term relationships based on trust and continuity. The client, not the providers, shall always be in the centre of our endeavours. Allow us to perform on your behalf to the limit of our expertise.Meet the Team
Sean Stringer | Managing Partner
As a founding member in 1998, Sean acquired control of the company and assumed the role “Member of the Board” in 2010 after the previous shareholders had decided to follow other callings. Since 2021 he is also the «Chairman of the Board». Most of his professional career has been devoted to dealing with the insurance and financial needs of the large expatriate community in the Basel region. He understands the importance of his role and will never exploit the inexperience of his clients as far as local customs and conventions are concerned. Understanding the needs of others is, in his opinion, the first step towards finding suitable solutions that benefit his clientele.

Kurt Hegetschweiler | Senior Partner
As a leading expert in the area of consulting services for expatriates, Kurt accepted the role of “Senior Partner” and “Member of the Board” at Stringer & Partners Ltd in October 2019. After living in the United States for 30 years, he returned to Europe in 2008 and assumed the role of an insurance broker for the large English speaking community in Switzerland. His personal relocation experience has helped him understand the needs and expectations of professionals who move to this country from abroad. Dedication is a key factor as far as client satisfaction is concerned. Expertise, availability and commitment towards supporting clients are, in his opinion, key factors in delivering a professional service that guarantees client satisfaction.

Beat von Allmen | Senior Partner
As a long-term associate working for many years alongside our managing partner, Beat joined the team in May 2020 as a “Senior Partner”. Previously, he was an employee of one of the largest insurance brokerages in our region. Even after our managing partner sold that company to investors in 2015, he remained a valuable employee under the new management. Currently he is responsible for supporting our team in our quest to find the best insurance solutions available to us for our clients. He tackles his duties in a reliable and professional manner. The most profitable insurance product with reliable T&Cs, not the price alone, is, in his opinion, the best option when it comes to satisfying the requirements of our clients.

Karen Willis | Customer Relations Manager
As a reliable point of contact for clients seeking insurance advice and support, Karen has fulfilled the role “Customer Relations Manager” since May 2019. After moving to Switzerland from the United Kingdom more than 20 years ago, she started a family and then worked as a “Key Account Manager” at a large insurance brokerage for over 10 years. Her experience in the insurance consulting area is essential when it comes to recognising the needs of our clients. Her ability to manage the workload of our partners is a key factor in maintaining close relationships between our associates and their clients. Networking within the English speaking community, in her opinion, is an ideal method of promoting our consulting expertise to new arrivals and locals alike.
