Online broker MRL Insurance has appointed specialist travel and wedding insurance provider Travellers Protection Services (TPS) to provide a wedding insurance product.
The three-tier cover, available in standard, super or deluxe, will be sold through MRL's consumer facing website, said the company.
MRL said it had a target of selling cover for 1,200 weddings in its first year.
TPS will handle medical screening and claims for the self-issue MRL product, which is underwritten by UK Underwriting.
TPS sales manager Steve Browne, said: “With 85% of weddings currently uninsured, this is a market with huge growth potential.
“But it's a specialist type of insurance, which requires a close understanding of the market, something which we have been able to offer to MRL
“More and more brokers are realising that wedding insurance is a vital part of a full general insurance offer - and one that offers good opportunities to attract new customers and cross-sell to existing ones.”
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
