The International Underwriting Association (IUA) has launched its new website (www.iua.co.uk).

The association says the website now provides more information and facilities, while remaining easy-to-use.

New features of the site include downloadable versions of IUA publications, an interactive press room, a diary of events, and links to IUA member websites.

Chief executive Marie-Louise Rossi said: "With people relying more heavily on websites as their first port of call for information, we felt it imperative for our site to offer up-to-the minute data, with simple, rapid accessibility.

"The needs of our members, and all those with whom we regularly work, were very much in mind in both the design and content planning stages. Indeed, visitors to the new site will find that it is truly interactive."
