MMA is planning to develop five personal lines policies in collaboration with Sirius over 2007.

The insurer has lined up private motor, commercial vehicle and three household policies. All the products will incorporate full-cycle electronic data interchange (EDI).

MMA's Derek Plummer said: “We are delighted that our relationship with Sirius continues to go from strength to strength. The development of the EDI product programme is further evidence of our commitment to providing strong products backed by a distribution partner. MMA will continue to pursue its strategy of growing its commercial and property led classes of business and this development is an important element of that focus.”

Andy Wiseman, business development director at Sirius said: “We value our partnership with MMA and their investment in our broking application clearly demonstrates both MMA's commitment to brokers and their endorsement of Sirius as a leading supplier in insurance systems to commercial lines brokers.”
