Insurer offers 'over the phone' service for event managers.
Hiscox Event Insurance, formerly known as Insurex, now offers ‘over the phone’ service to customers.
Event managers will be able to access the Hiscox sales and service team and their telesales offering, in order to obtain a quote and/or cover instantly, in just one call.
The new service, which is available up to 24 hrs in advance of an event, is staffed by a specially trained team who can directly sell a host of event packages without the need for the customer to fill out and return a proposal form.
Hiscox Event Insurance covers exhibitors, business events such as corporate parties, weddings and other private parties.
It also provides cover for stand-alone events such as fairs, fetes, carnivals as well as specialist one-off events such as historical vehicle rallies, and fireworks. The team can also create bespoke packages to suit client needs. To do this, they are fully supported by Hiscox professional underwriters.
Martin Linfield, Hiscox event underwriting manager, said: "Since the rebranding of Insurex to Hiscox Event Insurance earlier this year we have continued in our commitment to find better ways to meet the needs of our customers.
"I’m delighted that event managers, exhibitors and brokers alike can now talk directly with well trained UK-based telesales executives, particularly as at present, no other provider of events cover is able to offer an over the phone service where a quotation and cover can be purchased in the same call."
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.
