Zurich has empowered its regional and commercial teams in nine regional hubs to offer multinational cover in seven European Economic Area countries for UK clients buying a mid-market commercial combined all risks policy. The extension will support UK businesses with operations in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Spain.

Zurich said the product extension would close a gap in its current offering and enable it to support mid-market businesses as they grew their operations within the EEA region.

Morgan Lyons, head of retail commercial at Zurich UK, said: “As one of the only insurance providers still operating across the biggest regions in the UK, our regional underwriters will support brokers offering tailored advice to meet the individual needs of each business.

“The teams will continue to work closely with our colleagues in the multi-national hub. Our localised proposition ensures that we allow customers to access the breadth of our local expertise and meet their business needs through one policy and one expert underwriter.”
