Digital broker insurd upgrades its public liability offering with a new instant online quote-and-buy journey, underwritten by specialist insurer Markel Direct, covering everything from builders and electricians to photographers, IT contractors and business consultants.
insurd, the North Wales-based digital insurance broker with over 50 years of experience in arranging insurance for UK customers, has today announced a new partnership with Markel Direct — one of the UK’s leading specialist insurers — to power a new instant quote-and-buy journey for public liability insurance.
insurd already arranges public liability cover for a wide range of tradespeople, sole traders and small businesses across the UK. The partnership with Markel Direct upgrades that offering with a fully online, instant quote-and-buy journey, giving customers the ability to get quoted and covered in minutes, entirely online, at any time of day.
The move reflects growing demand from tradespeople and small business owners for insurance that fits around their working day rather than the other way around. Public liability cover is a requirement on many job sites and a condition of many client contracts, and insurd customers can now get a policy in place without having to wait to hear back from an adviser.
Craig Shaw, Director, insurd
“Public liability insurance is something the vast majority of tradespeople and sole traders need, and it’s always been part of what we offer at insurd. What’s changed is how quickly and easily customers can now get covered. Partnering with Markel Direct means we can offer a genuinely instant quote-and-buy journey, backed by a specialist insurer with real depth of experience across trades and professions.”
Through the partnership, insurd’s public liability offering now covers a comprehensive range of industries and professions, including:
- Tradesmen, builders, electricians, plumbers, painters and decorators and contractors’
- Sole traders’ insurance such as photographers, consultants and personal trainers.
