Fortis Insurance has been appointed by Aon to underwrite Post Office travel insurance products and to administer claims services.
The two-year contract, for which a total of five insurers competed, commences on 2 June 2003. The deal means the account is now rated the fifth biggest in the industry.
Aon Personal managing director Tony Martin said: "We were very impressed with the enthusiasm and professionalism of the Fortis team.
"Their track record in creating and maintaining customer satisfaction levels was a key factor in the selection process. With its experience of insuring 50 million travellers over the past 35 years, Fortis is a good strategic fit for our partnership with the Post Office."
Post Office travel and leisure category Manager, Kevin McAdam, said: "We are excited about the prospect of working with Fortis - we know them by reputation and look forward to working with them in expanding our travel insurance business further."
