Better handle on what's needed
What’s a plan, without skilled people to implement it? Our team is dedicated solely to schemes and absolutely 100% of our team’s focus is in delivering ongoing success to our broker partners. Our schemes team manages a huge selection of bespoke commercial schemes catering for a wide range of specialist trades and market sectors.
The holding brokers for some of these schemes welcome business introduced by sub-brokers. This gives you access to high-quality tailored products, expert service and a valuable edge on your competitors.
Details of the type of insurance and cover and how to get in contact with the respective holding brokers are shown below. Please contact the relevant broker for more information on the individual scheme.
