WTW has forged a partnership with insurance infrastructure platform Kayna. The agreement will support WTW’s ability to provide insurance solutions to SME clients in the UK and the US through vertical software-as-a-service platforms, which are created for specific industries. It will enable WTW to distribute property, general liability, workers’ compensation, commercial motor and umbrella liability insurance solutions to industry-specific vSaaS platforms.

Anthony Borgman, head of affinity GB at WTW, said: “WTW Affinity have been able to add our unique value and expertise to the delivery of a data-led, end-to-end insurance service to not only deliver value but provide greater confidence to SME’s seeking appropriate levels of protection. I am delighted to see our UK Affinity capabilities expand in this exciting way and to have this opportunity to build on our partnership for the long-term.”

Paul Prendergast, CEO and co-founder of Kayna, added: “WTW powered by Kayna will be providing trusted full service, tailored insurance solutions direct to SMEs via platforms whose core business is not insurance but whose rich, curated SME data is the critical success factor in ensuring right-sized insurance cover.”
