Ingard adopts Assurant Intermediary general insurance products

Nikki Haworth, Head of Sales and Marketing at Ingard, said: "Ingard's proposition is all about offering its brokers a choice of providers who are intermediary focused, competitively priced with the most comprehensive cover for their clients; by adding Assurant Intermediary to our panel we do just that!"

Kevin Paterson, Sales and Marketing Director for Assurant Intermediary, commented: "Ingard started life as a busy intermediary itself and has grown to become a network. This, combined with its 20 year history, puts it in the perfect position to understand how best to cater to brokers at every level. We're delighted to join their GI panel and will be working hard to ensure our products remain competitive, current and relevant. Our Intermediary Point of Sale system (IPOS) allows brokers to quote and arrange policies online simply, while also providing the network with valuable management information."

Haworth continued: "When we were reviewing Assurant Intermediary's products, I happened to be renewing my own buildings and contents insurance. I switched to Assurant Intermediary as it was far less expensive and the cover was even better than my existing policy. If I would buy it for myself, then of course I can wholeheartedly recommend it to our brokers."

Assurant Intermediary is a part of Assurant Solutions based in the UK. It distributes a full suite of general insurance products built around the individual needs of individual customers, including mortgage and income protection, buildings and contents, and landlords' let property insurance.
