Axa UK has renewed its capacity deal with Avantia Group and has signed a multi-year extension to provide capacity for Avantia’s non-standard home insurance brand Homeprotect. Axa first partnered with Avantia in 2012.

Alain Zweibrucker (pictured), CEO at Axa Retail, said: “This ongoing relationship signals our commitment to the market and the value we see in impactful partnerships. I’m looking forward to working closely with Avantia Group so that together we can continue to deliver positive experiences for home insurance customers.”

Mark Eastham, CEO at Avantia Group, added: “Non-standard is a large part of the UK home insurance market, and as the market leader we still see huge growth potential.

“Axa’s backing has given us the strongest foundation to build other capabilities across the value chain, with agile, tech-enabled platforms and an industry-first, AI-driven claims model. We look forward to developing our relationship with them further over the next five years.”
