Intermediary Berkeley Alexander has built a web site aimed at students featuring on-line leisure, culture, shopping information and insurance quotations.
The specialist broker created the site after typing in the word ‘insurance' on an internet search engine – and being offered a massive 2.5m web sites.
“On-line applications are far better than the insurance industry is reporting as a whole,” said Berkeley Alexander managing director Edward York.
Independent Insurance is supporting the initiative financially. “They have been helping us a great deal and backing the web site,” said York.
Berkeley Alexander is looking for an insurer partner to provide on-line motor quotes for students. Previously insurers have been reluctant to support student motorists, York says.
Since the launch, Berkeley Alexander has helped non-competitive intermediaries wishing to set up web sites.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
