Jubilee to provide schemes for Blue Insurances

Specialist Lloyd’s insurer Jubilee has been appointed by Blue Insurances to provide gadget insurance and collision damage waiver (CDW) schemes to its Irish and UK customer base.

Blue Insurances is a provider of travel insurance, gadget, pet, wedding insurance and car hire excess.

Jubilee’s appointment will see the insurer building on Blue Insurances existing gadget insurance product, launched in 2010, with an all risks scheme that provides customers with a claims replacement programme managed in Ireland by Jubilee’s claims service partner Outsource Services Group (OSG), an independent, Irish owned, specialist outsourcing firm.

Jubilee’s CDW cover is offered alongside Blue’s travel insurance product providing higher limits of cover compared to its previous scheme, and also offers supplemental liability cover for North America.

Blue Insurances joint managing director of Blue Insurances Ciaran Mulligan said: “Blue is recognised for its award-winning insurance solutions and innovative approach. Jubilee has demonstrated its experience and ability to respond to the challenge of delivering relevant protection that meets the evolving needs of our customers.”

Jubilee underwriter Warren Campbell said: “We are looking to build on this foundation with a long-term partnership with Blue Insurances and OSG. By combining their experience, capabilities and skills with Jubilee’s product and affinity market knowledge, we aim to develop a successful portfolio in Ireland.”

OSG head of business development and sales and marketing Dick Harnett said: “We share a passion and commitment with Jubilee to offer the best insurance services. We are delighted to have been appointed as their claims partner, and to be working together to build on these new schemes with others across Ireland.”
