Called the Scheme Specialists directory, the new online niche schemes market resource is designed to alleviate the difficulty brokers often face when securing insurance for uncommon or specific business needs.
The directory is organised into six distinct categories: specialty, contractors, liability, motor, property, and combined. The classification allows brokers to easily locate and access information on the schemes, significantly cutting down on the time and effort spent in search of a compatible insurance product.
Gary Head (pictured), director of schemes and delegated authorities at AXA Commercial, said: “As a business with a broad and loyal broker following, this simple concept of connecting the ‘weird and wonderful’ world of schemes with that distribution capability really is a genius idea.
“If we can make it easier for brokers to navigate our extensive portfolio of schemes, it improves the service we all provide to customers while opening up new opportunities to grow our partners’ businesses.
“We are very hopeful that the Schemes Specialists directory will be a real asset to our fantastic broker partners who are frequently presented with niche or non-standard risks to place.”
