In 1977 Eric G.F. BLAIR opened his first office in Monaco, as a General Agent.
He soon realised that no other insurer was specialising in serving the English-speaking community on the Côte d'Azur and decided to capitalise on his bi-lingual abilities by offering a service in a language understood by foreigners.
In addition, other agencies were soon taken over and incorporated, helping to grow the clientele from the French community.

In 1990, a brokerage house was created in the Principality of Monaco, named Monassur S.C.S., in order to offer the same independent service as in France and a wider approach to insurable risks. To date, Monassur consists of 13 people and continues to develop its business in new fields, such as businesses, yachting, special risks, life assurance and pension plans.

In 1988, a secondary office was opened in France, in Valbonne, named Riviera Insurance Brokers, in order to offer a local service to the many foreigners who have settled in this area. The office was formed as an independent brokerage house, in order to offer the widest range of insurance programs possible. To date, Riviera consists of 5 people and is still growing, benefiting especially from its close proximity to Sophia Antipolis.

In 1993, following many trips to the South West of France, Eric Blair decided to open another office, British Insurance Brokers of Aquitaine, in order to meet the same kind of needs in this region as provided in the other offices. Currently manned by one person, the office located in Villereal is gradually growing and will soon take on more staff.

Two other companies are located abroad. Eurassure is located in London and Europea International Services trading in Tortola allow the Eric Blair Network to provide its services on a worldwide basis. Other offices should be opened in the near future in order to increase the areas covered.
