Power Place, the Towergate-owned online insurance marketplace, today announced that Aviva is joining its panel of insurers. Aviva will be launching its property owners’ policy on Power Place in early 2011.
Janice Deakin, intermediary and partnerships director, Aviva, said: “We know how important it is to provide brokers with the option to trade on a variety of platforms. Joining the panel at Power Place complements our own commercial online trading platform (Fast Trade) and we are delighted to be working with Matthew and his team on this new venture.”
Power Place CEO Matthew Reed added that he considered this news a milestone in the business’ development: “It’s wonderful to welcome Aviva to Power Place. We passionately believe that our online marketplace model represents the future of commercial lines distribution. That’s not just because it’s quick and makes life easy for brokers, but because it will ultimately allow them to access a perfect panel of insurers. With Aviva on board, we have taken a significant step closer towards offering the perfect panel.”
Nick Giddings, Power Place commercial director, concluded: “Property owners’ insurance is an extremely important line for us, so it’s going to be fantastic to offer brokers an Aviva product early next year. We know that it’s great news for our brokers to be able to access such a key market through our online marketplace.”
