London, UK (19 May, 2010) – As part of Hiscox’s continued drive for profitable growth of its commercial book, the specialist insurer today announces the launch of a new dedicated schemes team.
The unique team of eight, led by National Schemes Sales Manager Lee Turner, draws on expertise from around the business to provide a tailored underwriting service to brokers and make the process of setting up schemes with Hiscox even easier.
The team will deal directly with brokers to project manage schemes from start to finish and proactively work with them to build bespoke packages and identify new income streams from the sectors they operate in. As well as providing individual marketing support for brokers, the team can also help to speed up and deliver the most cost effective process for implementing schemes.
Brokers will be able to meet members of the team at the BIBA conference at the specially themed Hiscox stand (H6), and staff will be on hand to talk about Hiscox’s appetite for schemes.
Lee Turner, National Schemes Sales Manager said: “The new schemes team is a development that complements our appetite for new schemes and our broker partners will benefit from their dedicated service. By providing flexible underwriting of scheme packages and support throughout the process, I believe the team will add value in a unique way and enhance the quality service our brokers already know us for.”
