Highway adds home product to Open GI

Broker only insurer Highway has added its new Choice Home household product to the Open GI system.

Highway Choice Home is an EDI sum insured rated contents and buildings product which was piloted in 2007.

Launched on CDL last month, Open GI is the second software house to feature the product on its system.

Highway’s sales & marketing director, Michael Lawrence, said: “We were pleased with the pilot and the response we received to the launch last month on CDL.

"We are committed to continuing our roll-out to a wider broker base. Open GI were identified as a logical partner for us to access a wider broker base.

"We are in a position to talk to any Open GI users who would like to obtain a household agency with us and would like to benefit from our new offering.”

Michele Munn, head of insurer relations, Open GI, said: “We are delighted to add Highway to our ever expanding household portfolio.

Our HomeWriter platform has seen a wealth of new products being added over the past twelve months and we are sure that Highway Choice Home will be a great success.

"The addition of the new Highway Choice Home product extends our existing product distribution with Highway, which also includes Motor, Truck and Motorcycle. We have worked with Highway for many years and admire their commitment to working with us to give brokers what they need.”
