Ageas has developed a home insurance platform for Connells Group, which will enable the estate agency’s mortgage and insurance advisers to offer home insurance to customers. Connells Group has a network of 1,200 branches and the digitised proposition builds on a relationship that spans 30 years.

Ageas built the home insurance platform with support from Ageas Group in Brussels, which has experience of launching and scaling digital B2B2C partnerships. It will support the home insurance journey from quote to purchase as well as for mid-term adjustments and renewals.

Adrian Scott, chief lender services officer at Connells Group, said: “We’re delighted to extend our long-standing relationship with Ageas to offer high quality insurance solutions to more Connells Group customers. The speed and agility shown in developing an enhanced digital experience for both our advisers and customers has been impressive.”

Adam Beckett, MD broker and partnerships at Ageas UK, added: “Expanding our long-standing partnership with Connells Group strengthens our home portfolio and demonstrates how our digital capabilities can unlock growth for partners.”
