Following the appointment of Sirius Financial Systems last year as a strategic technology partner, Towergate Underwriting Group has announced Sirius will be retained to deliver technology solutions to the Folgate Partnership.

Sirius software will now constitute the blueprint and common technology platform across all the broking operations that come under the Towergate Underwriting Group banner.

It will also provide the technical platform for the management of all underwriting processes.

The company says the technical infrastructure will support the creation of a number of regional broker hubs and a network of local intermediairies.

The Folgate Partnership's IT director, Jeff Dodd, commented: "The Folgate Partnership represents a refreshing new model for commercially-oriented business. Technology will play a vital role in our success and we feel confident that, in Sirius, we have selected the single software set best able to drive forward both our broking and underwriting operations."
