Specialist managing general agent Qlaims Limited has struck a deal with Howden. Under the agreement, Qlaims will offer its loss assistance insurance to Howden’s UK, SME clients. The broker began offering the Qlaims cover earlier this month.

Liz Latter (pictured), CEO of Qlaims, said: “We are delighted to be helping and supporting Howden’s clients with their claims. We believe that most UK insurance policies have a gap when it comes to claims preparation, and including Qlaims with property insurances bridges this, and is a USP for brokers in delivering great client service.”

Victoria Sutton, head of claims operations, corporate and commercial, UK & Ireland Retail at Howden, added: “We have been working with Qlaims to ensure we have the best proposition for our commercial clients; the solution we feel reflects the Howden brand and works seamlessly to complement our existing in-house claims services.”
