Arthur J.
Gallagher has launched a new professional benefits service for its association partners and their members.
Called Access1st, the online portal will provide associations and their members access to a range of products and services, including preferential rates.
The service will provide a number of benefits including professional indemnity and public liability insurance, health insurance, free ad hoc legal advice and travel and accommodation services, including other services.
Christine Osborne, manager of Arthur J. Gallagher’s professional associations team, which runs Access1st, said that the launch will see the brokerage move beyond insurance solutions.
“Beyond simply providing insurance solutions to our association partners and their members, we want to help their businesses grow and thrive. That’s the driving force behind Access1st,” Osborne told Insurance Business.
“The small business community, in particular, faces a raft of challenges every day just to grow their business and raise their profile. The Access1st provider network has been selected to offer solutions to a range of common problems faced by business owners, including legal and HR advice, web development, graphic design and many other essential services.”
There is no cost to associations to join the portal and no cost to members unless they wish to take up special offers.
The brokerage has also launched a print publication, Association Professional, which can also be downloaded for free.
