Cheap web access for brokers
Intermediaries are being offered cheap access to the internet from Norwich Union which is providing a web design service and low cost internet access.
The insurer has teamed-up with internet service provider Netcom to offer a three-page web site, unlimited internet access with up to 20 e-mail addresses, and 24-hour technical support.
The initial set up cost is £149.95, followed by a monthly subscription of £39.95.
The web site package includes up to three web pages with 250 words per page, that can feature the intermediary's corporate logo and colour scheme. Hyper links would allow web-visitors to transfer to a related site.
Jill Willis, Norwich Union customer support manager, believes that intermediaries buying a similar service from a specialist web site design company or internet service provider would pay at least £650.
She said:”This is an exclusive offer that could give intermediaries a competitive edge. We've already had a good response, with over 200 brokers contacting us in the first week.”
Norwich Union is also enhancing its Club Online site, which lets intermediaries order stationery on-line and download customer application forms.
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.
