Three-year deal for SME business signed

Allianz Commercial has been appointed as sole supplier for WPS Insurance Brokers’ book of small business.

The insurer will underwrite risks within their Complete product range, which seeks to provide commercial package solutions for Contractors, Office, Retail, Small Business and Property Owners.

The three year deal follows last year’s sole provider partnership deals with Higos in January, CBG Insurance Brokers in March, Mackay Corporate in June and Tett Hamilton in July.

Graeme Durlacher, small business development manager, Allianz Commercial, said: "I am delighted that, once again, we have been selected as the most appropriate company to work in partnership with. This is a great achievement and it demonstrates the strength of our small business proposition and desire to be the most successful competitor in this market."

Steve Harvey, sales director, WPS Insurance Brokers, added: "Having conducted an extensive tender process, with strong competition from other insurers, Allianz Commercial was clearly the company that stood out as understanding our overall objectives and had a strategy for small business aligned to ours. This development ensures we are able to provide our clients with the best possible service."
