09 May 2011

9th May 2011: Specialist general insurance provider, Assurant Intermediary has reported that it has secured approximately 40 per cent share of the Personal Touch Financial Services (PTFS) buildings and contents panel in the year since its appointment. Dev Malle, sales and marketing director at PTFS, comments: “Our members are constantly looking for competitive, quality buildings and contents policies on behalf of their clients. However, I believe the success that Assurant Intermediary has achieved is also due in no small part to its proactive approach. Its business development team has been tireless in its efforts to ensure our members understand its product offering as well as support their marketing efforts. This was one of the key reasons we named the business as our best buildings and contents insurance provider at our awards last year. I’m delighted that we’re able to give our members access to a partner that can not only help them improve their revenue streams, but also given them access to products their clients want.” Gary Little, head of key accounts at Assurant Intermediary says: “The British Insurance Brokers Association carried out a survey of its members at the end of last year, almost two thirds of whom reported that clients were looking to cut back on their insurance cover. It’s really encouraging to see that this doesn’t appear to be the case amongst PTFS advisers. However, we’re not going to rest on our laurels and will be looking to further improve our buildings and contents offering this year to give them even greater choice to discuss with their clients.” - ends – Media contact: Lesley Russell at Spotlight Communications Tel: 07815 778038 Email: lesley@spotlightcomms.co.uk About Assurant Intermediary Assurant Intermediary is part of Assurant Solutions, a global provider of specialty insurance products and services.
