Brokers want insurers to broaden their risk appetite and make it easier for them to place small fleet risks, according to the latest Broker Barometer survey from Direct Commercial Limited. It found that 60% of brokers reported difficulties in securing small fleet cover and that 92% wanted insurers to adopt a broader risk appetite.

Joe Hantson, deputy CEO of Direct Commercial Limited, said: “DCL consistently prioritises aligning our offerings with the evolving needs and expectations of commercial motor brokers. The data from our DCL Barometer clearly shows that brokers are facing significant challenges in securing cover for small fleets.

“We are pleased to launch our Haul in One product on Acturis, thereby offering a solution to a wider panel of brokers and their clients.”
