BGL Group, a leading digital distributor of insurance and household financial services, has today announced the expansion of its insurer panel, with the appointment of Premier Underwriting.
Specialising in private car and small commercial vehicle insurance, Premier Underwriting currently writes around £60 million of motor insurance business for its partners across the UK. The addition of Premier will help to expand BGL’s customer footprint across its own and partner brands.
BGL now works with 17 insurers and has both panel and solus underwriting models in place for its brands. Premier Underwriting covers car and commercial vehicle policies, focusing on those customers who live outside of cities, writing risk for policy holders with both high and low levels of No Claims Discounts. With over 11 million customers, and links with some of the UK’s leading household names in banking, retail and motoring to sell car, commercial vehicle and home insurance to their customers, BGL has ambitious growth plans in place, with a strong and diverse insurer panel key to achieving these goals.
Andy Pointon, Director of Insurance and Aggregation at BGL Group, said: “Working with a market leading panel of insurer partners is vital for BGL. Premier Underwriting has a reputation for agile pricing within customer demographics that align well to those of BGL’s own brands and our affinity partners. The addition of Premier to our panel ensures we are bringing our customers competitively priced products, without compromising on quality.”
Paul Gray, CEO at Premier Underwriting, added: “BGL has an enviable and significant customer base across a strong portfolio of brands, so we are delighted to offer Premier’s underwriting services to the Group. Our aim is to help increase BGL’s market competitiveness and due to the scale of our pricing, we are confident that the partnership can drive significant results for both our own and BGL’s strategic growth targets.”
