An introduction to this Insurance Times special.
These are exciting times in commercial lines. As the economic gloom deepens, businesses are increasingly squeezed, and need professional advice and the right insurance product. Enter the broker. From risk management to searching the market for the best price and cover, professional brokers can add real value to their clients businesses in these difficult times. Innovation is key – take the example of Kerry London, the broker that has launched a live auction site for fleet risks to drive down costs, and has already been richly rewarded with 60 risks per week. There are other ways in which the smart broker can use technology to boost their business – for example, by getting on imarket and accessing a wider range of quotes quicker. And with new opportunities springing up all the time in commercial lines, brokers every weapon they can get their hands on. Insurance Times has compiled its recent commercial lines coverage to offer some top tips: we hope you enjoy it.
