edeus signs up 5,000 intermediaries

It reached the 5,000 mark, its target for the end of 2006, 10 days after launch.

Alan Cleary, managing director of edeus, said: “Brokers have embraced the edeus story. Although we were certain brokers would be interested in the edeus model, even we were bowled over by the level of interest. It’s surpassed our wildest dreams.”

Intermediaries that sign up before edeus' launch day in mid-September will receive a £75 bonus proc fee.
