BOV employees celebrate with mapfre Madrid experience

A group of BOV employees from across the Bank’s Investment Centres, Branch Network, Business Development, and Private Banking paid a visit to Mapfre’s Head Office in Madrid, as a celebration of shared values, contribution, and strong team culture. This trip was a way of recognising team members who demonstrate outstanding commitment, professionalism, and a drive for excellence, and was a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate success.

A key highlight of the programme was the visit to Mapfre’s headquarters in Majadahonda, where the group was welcomed by senior Mapfre representatives and given an overview of the Group’s life insurance strategy and future direction. The visit concluded with a certificate award ceremony, formally recognising every employee’s achievement.

Reflecting on the experience, Alex Bezzina, Head of Insurance Services and Pensions at Bank of Valletta, explained, “This trip is a token of appreciation for those who consistently live our values of resilience and customer focus. Our relationship with Mapfre MSV Life is built on trust and shared values, and experiences like this help strengthen that bond while keeping our focus firmly on delivering value to our customers.”

mapfre S.A. is one of Spain’s leading insurance providers, with a presence that extends across Latin America and the Maghreb.

Alongside the professional programme, participants enjoyed discovering Madrid’s rich culture, with visits to iconic landmarks including Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, and Puerta del Sol, as well as shared social team-building moments such as a tapas tour and a flamenco evening.

Participants described the experience as memorable, well-organised, and enjoyable. It was a chance not only to learn, but also to build stronger connections with colleagues from across the Bank. This Madrid visit reflects Bank of Valletta’s ongoing commitment to investing in its people and celebrating success together.
