Over 150 new brokers have requested access to Groupama's commercial extranet following the launch of a new relationship with the Countrywide network.

The relationship gives Countrywide members exclusive commission advantages on a range of commercial products – property, offices and surgeries, shops, trade and professional - all of which are available via Optima Online and imarket. Products are auto-rated and offer instant quotes.

John Dawson, head of insurance services, Misys Insurance Management, said: “Launching new commercial facilities with Groupama is part of our strategy to expand our SME offering. The market offers huge potential for growth, particularly as we move closer to electronic trading.

“Misys is also working with Groupama to deliver end to end connectivity via the OASys Commercial / imarket link – producing yet further efficiencies for our joint broker customers.”

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

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.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
