Mortgage Times merges insurance divisions

General Times and Life Times will now operate as one entity, General Times, enabling brokers to refer or provide quotes for general insurance and life assurance under the same banner.

General Times proposition will offer the facility of business referral and selling of general insurance products, as well as offering intermediaries the chance to sell life assurance products. The general insurance referral scheme guarantees no cross selling.

Christopher May, director of the Mortgage Times Group, commented: "The coming together of all of our insurance products under the General Times umbrella is another exciting step forward in offering a fully integrated service to our members.

"This move will enable us to not only offer a faster more professional service, but also enhance the benefits and commission levels across our whole range of Insurance products and services."
