Plum Underwriting has launched a series of workshop events for brokers entitled ‘Back to the Broker’. Key objectives include; enhancing brokers’ ability to identify and cater for the growing demand for non-standard household risks and to provide technical training. It also offers participants the opportunity to provide feedback on their needs and requirements to key members of the Plum team.
Plum, which was recently voted fifth best for service by brokers in a market wide survey, held the first event in the City of London. It featured an interactive technical workshop on the underwriting of subsidence risks, where brokers benefited from Plum claims manager David Hole’s 27 years of knowledge and practical experience. This was followed by an open forum in which attendees were invited to raise and discuss issues relating to the underwriting of non-standard household risks.
Plum managing director, David Whitaker said: “The Back to the Broker initiative is part of our commitment to supporting brokers and is designed to further build close working partnerships with them. Because understanding about non-standard household insurance varies greatly in the market, we believe an underwriting perspective is useful for brokers in further understanding this class of business and the opportunities it presents.
“Further events are scheduled around the country in the next twelve months, with the next due to be held in Bristol in November. Feedback provided in the open forum sessions will have a direct bearing on the products and services Plum offers.”
