Ageas extends 30 year partnership to launch bespoke digital home insurance platform

Ageas has extended its 30 year partnership with UK estate agency Connells Group by creating a bespoke digital platform capable of delivering insurance services to a greater number of customers.

This new platform enables Connells Group’s mortgage and insurance advisers to work across across it’s 1,200-branch estate agency network – from quote to purchase, servicing and renewal.

The insurer built the platform in response to Connells Group’s ambition to enhance its home insurance proposition for its customers.

Adrian Scott, chief lender services officer at Connells Group, said: “We’re delighted to extend our long-standing relationship with Ageas to offer high quality insurance solutions to more Connells Group customers.

”The speed and agility shown in developing an enhanced digital experience for both our advisers and customers has been impressive. This renewed partnership reflects our commitment to creating smoother, simpler processes that lead to better outcomes and an overall improved colleague and customer experience.”

Digital partnership ’Blueprint’

The platform was built in collaboration with expertise from Ageas Group in Brussels, which specialises in launching and scaling digital business-to-business-to-consumer partnerships across global markets.

Adam Beckett, managing director for broker and partnerships at Ageas UK, said: “Expanding our long-standing partnership with Connells Group strengthens our home portfolio and demonstrates how our digital capabilities can unlock growth for partners.

”The speed, agility, and quality of what the team has delivered is exceptional and sets a new standard for how we bring large-scale partnerships to life. This is very much a blueprint for future digital partnerships.”
