Stride Launches New Online Comparison Facility For Insurance Brokers At BIBA Conference & Exhibition
(PRWeb UK) May 13, 2010
Stride’s Property Insurance Broker Portal will enable brokers and agents to re-sell commercial property insurance directly to their clients, under a wholesale agreement with Stride Limited.
Claire Wilson, Commercial Manager, Stride Limited says of the portal:
“At Stride it is important to us that we continually develop the service that we offer to our brokers and agents as we recognise that they are valuable partners that bring a lot to the business. This is about empowerment and moving with the times; the broker portal streamlines an otherwise slow bureaucratic process and gives agents and brokers the tools to work smarter, sell more and earn greater commission.”
Since the launch of Stride’s Online Property Insurance Quote process, which allows landlords to compare property insurance online, last year, the business has gone from strength to strength. Richard Lovegrove, Managing Director of Stride Limited explains:
“Very few escaped the recession unscathed. We are most fortunate that the success of our online quote process has not only helped us sail through well but it has also given us some scope to develop in other areas, and we are now in the position to extend this to our affiliates, brokers and agents in the form of the broker portal.”
These are exciting times for Stride Limited; the growth and performance of its online services portfolio have provided the ideal platform from which to build on strong growth in the first quarter into the summer.
To illustrate this, Stride has chosen to exhibit at the BIBA Conference & Exhibition in London’s ExCeL centre on 19th and 20th May to launch the new broker portal. However, as this is the debut appearance of Stride’s commercial insurance team at BIBA’s annual flagship insurance event, they wish to celebrate in style.
Stride will be hosting its very own free Blackjack table, where would-be “punters” are invited to try their luck for the chance of winning prizes including champagne. In order to play, brokers are invited to visit stand C17 where they will be challenged to draw “21’s” or “double down” with a demo of the broker portal while on the stand.
