Intermediary-only insurer MMA Insurance and software provider SSP have formed a partnership for Key Choice network members.

The partnership will allow network members to access MMA's motor, home and SME products.

The first products to be launched through the partnership from 1 September 2004 will be private motor, commercial vehicle, household, and mid net worth products.

The companies said SME and Landlords products would follow on from the initial offering.

MMA sales and marketing manager Clare Tilly said: “The strategic partnership with SSP is part of our focus on increasing the volume of business we write through strategic partnerships.

“Again we will look for business to be transacted electronically wherever possible, allowing our partners to benefit from the advantages of ease of trading and speed to market.”

SSP marketing director Nick Southan said: “We are committed to delivering real value to our KC members through strong relationships with selected strategic insurance partners.

“We are excited about our new agreement with MMA, which we believe will result in major trading benefits for all parties.”
