Insurance provider Berkeley Alexander has teamed up with speciality re/insurer Canopius to launch SafeGuard Protect, which is a modular product providing personal accident, income protection or mortgage or rent protection in the case of an accident, sickness or job loss. The move returns Berkeley Alexander to the ASU market for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Geoff Hall, chairman of Berkeley Alexander, said: “We are delighted and proud to be returning to the market with a modern, flexible PA and ASU product. We have seen an increasing demand of late from agents seeking protection products that are competitive and compliant and meet the needs of clients today. With a continuing uncertain economic outlook, our protection product is hitting the market just at the right time.”
