Nsure Ltd, formerly a founding member of the Willis Network, has revealed how being part of the Marsh ProBroker community of independent brokers is part of its core business development strategy in 2010 and is already reaping rewards for the firm and its clients.

Nsure Ltd is the general insurance arm of the Nsure Group plc, the Worthing-based independent insurance and financial services provider, and has an extensive client base across the South East of England.

Phil Bristow, Director of Nsure, said: “Despite being approached by numerous potential partners and exploring our options, Nsure has not been part of a network for over five years. Nothing in the market had matched our expectations.

“Marsh ProBroker has a compelling proposition and ticks all the right boxes – enhanced commissions, superior products and perhaps most importantly, improved service from the insurers – all of which is backed by the power of Marsh. It is refreshing to work with a panel of insurers who want to help us grow our business. Competitive pricing, quality service and wider cover is good news for our existing clients and has already helped us win new clients, too.”

Bruce Fertnig, Leader of Marsh ProBroker, commented: “Nsure’s positive feedback is a tremendous vote of confidence in Marsh ProBroker’s offering and the value it can add to the independent broker. As part of Marsh ProBroker’s robust due diligence process, we ensure that all parties’ business objectives are carefully aligned with our common goal of providing the best services and most competitive deals on the market for clients. We are delighted that Marsh ProBroker’s relationship with Nsure is bearing fruit to the benefit of the firm and its clients.”

Marsh ProBroker also announced that it has agreed a number of bespoke products with its selected insurer panel. As part of its continuing development, Marsh ProBroker now offers:

• Competitive rates for premium finance agreements, which enable clients to spread the cost of their insurance throughout the year
• Online comparison tools, which enable Marsh ProBroker members to quickly assess and recommend the most appropriate products for their clients
• Access to Marsh’s intellectual property globally

Marsh announced in 2009 that it was forming a community of independent mid-sized UK brokers who shared a commitment to innovation on behalf of clients and who were looking to protect and grow their businesses. This followed extensive research into how Marsh could use its strong relationships with insurers and its broad capabilities in product development to benefit companies in the SME sector.

Mr Fertnig added: “Marsh ProBroker is continuing to evolve based on broker feedback and an avid interest from third party suppliers that want to work with Marsh, reflecting the value and quality of the proposition. This interest is enabling us to continually differentiate Marsh ProBroker from other offerings on the market, adding even more value to our members and their clients.”
