Powerplace has added Brit Insurance to its panel of insurers.

Brit is launching its directors & officers’ liability cover on the online commercial insurance marketplace this month.

Vivek Banga, head of UK distribution at Brit said: “E- traded SME business is already a significant proportion of our commercial portfolio and we are finding that there is an increasing demand from brokers to be able to compare products and to get access to competitive quotes quickly and efficiently for both the more complex and the simpler lines of business."

Powerplace commercial director, Nick Giddings, added: “We’re delighted to bring Brit Insurance on board as it is exactly the quality of provider that our brokers demand and will enhance our existing panel.

"We’re looking forward to building a successful relationship and hopefully increasing the range of products Brit Insurance will make available on PowerPlace in the future.”
