Berkeley Alexander secures Best GI Provider at SimplyBiz Awards
02 June 2020
2nd June 2020: Berkeley Alexander (BA) is delighted to have received the ‘Best GI Provider’ award at this year’s SimplyBiz Partner event. The event, normally a major coming together of the great and good of the mortgage finance, protection and insurance industry, was held virtually in light of the current lockdown.
Mark Hutchings, Managing Director of Berkeley Alexander, said: “I’m absolutely delighted that we were last night named Best GI Provider by the SimplyBiz Mortgage Club for our work and delivery of the Genius GI platform for the SimplyBiz membership. This is a real vindication of the strategy we have been focusing on during the past few years, providing IFAs and Mortgage Brokers across the market with access to a range of products and insurers, and not just seeking vanilla household. The strategy has helped SimplyBiz’s members write significantly greater volumes of GI. Our team is buzzing.”
Martin Reynolds, Managing Director of SimplyBiz Mortgages, said: “2019 saw BA transform its business mix with us. Rather than chase the standard vanilla GI case down the price avenue they have focussed on the more niche areas of the market, including High Net Worth, Complex and Commercial insurance. This has seen greater member engagement across many product sets which has truly widened the size of the GI market for our members.”
Celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year, Berkeley Alexander currently provides services to over 3,500 firms in the UK. It provides a wide choice of quality general insurance policies to suit every level of customer need and budget across a range of product types, including standard and non-standard home, Mid & High Net Worth, Property Owners (both residential and commercial) and all forms of commercial insurance.
