Brokers Marsh and Willis both increased the volume of business they placed using the Kinnect platform during May, said Kinnect.

Since 1 May, Marsh has been using the Kinnect platform to send out risk data to underwriters relating to its North American portfolio.

In addition, Willis has also increased the volume of North American property business it places through the platform, said Kinnect.

Both brokers previously committed to using Kinnect to distribute part of their North American property portfolio in London by the end of 2004.

Kinnect chief executive Toby Davies, said: “This is another major step forward for Kinnect. We all know that the key to the platform's success is building the volume of risk data being placed across it and gaining traction from our customers.

“With both Marsh and Willis now submitting North American property risks, that volume is increasing rapidly and bringing many businesses into contact with Kinnect.”

In addition to Marsh and Willis, the other members of Kinnect's initial launch group are underwriters Ace Europe, Amlin, Beazley and Wellington.
