Peart rebrand bears fruit as 40 new sub-brokers sign up...

Peart Associates, the Kendal-based insurance specialists, has signed up almost 40 new sub-brokers as a result of recent publicity and a rebranding.

The company has rebranded with a fresh, modern and new corporate design and website.

Sub-broking is a significant part of Peart's annual turnover. More than 200 sub-brokers have now signed up for the facility.

Brian Gent, Peart's underwriting and agency manager, said: "We have recently seen more than a 20% increase in the take-up of our sub-broking facility. This follows some recent publicity and our new corporate look and website. Most of these inquiries have come via our new emailing facility or the new website.

He added: "We offer sub-brokers the chance to keep their clients' non-standard insurance in-house. This protects the sub-broker from potential competitors and we never approach a sub-broker's client."

Brian said that Peart's offers sub-brokers a fast turnaround for quotations – usually within minutes.

"We are not a call centre. We offer sub-brokers a personal service with a team that knows cars and insurance inside out."
