Allianz Commercial is splitting its broker support into three tiers – broker partners, prime partners and strategic partners – and each will receive a different level of assistance. The insurer said it was hiring 30 branch-based underwriters as part of this drive and that independent brokers assessed as having high growth potential would have access to its Allianz Accelerator programme.
Mike Thomas (pictured), distribution director for Allianz Commercial, said: “We believe that the best way to support independent brokers is to further tailor our offerings to their specific needs and provide excellent service at a local level. The new Prime Partners and Broker Partners segments now have clearly differentiated support across relationship management, trading and business support.
He added: “The Accelerator programme is an exciting opportunity for us to get closer to our broker partners and the significant investment in new underwriters will help to broaden our capacity. Designing this new model around feedback from brokers means that we can build our relationship around what matters most to them.”
