Reach your market quickly

One of the biggest challenges that can be faced when launching a new product, is defining your sales channel to reach your customers. We can offer a range of ways to for your customers to buy insurance in a way that is convenient for them.

  • Online – we make it quick and easy for customers to purchase your new insurance product through a seamless, fully branded quote and buy journey.
  • Call centres – we work with trusted UK-based, outsourced call centre services that operate 24/7/365. Your business and our brand are important to us so we’ll make sure they’re fully trained on your products and services.
  • In-store – we can provide the systems capabilities for your staff to sell insurance face-to-face in-store (or in-branch). We can also provide point of sale material and training resources.

The true value of an insurance policy will be realised at the point in which a customer needs to make a claim. This is where our customer service thrives.

Claims handling is a complex area and needs to be carried out by real experts, that’s why our dedicated team will help select the right claims solution for your business to ensure your customers get a great claims service and your brand reputation is well protected.

British Cycling

UK General Insurance, partnered with Thistle Insurance Services to launch a cycle-based travel insurance product, distributed via British Cycling, the UK’s largest cycling organisation and the national governing body for cyclesport. British Cycling has 126,000 members who often go abroad as part of organised cycling tours and compete in amateur events. They can struggle to find adequate travel insurance to cover themselves, their bikes and equipment for cycling events.

Chris Barclay, head of affinity & direct at Thistle Insurance Services said, “We are delighted to be working with UK General to provide this travel proposition for an iconic British brand, like British Cycling, who we have partnered with for over 8 years. We knew we had to find an agile insurance partner who could not only underwrite the product but also provide the technological expertise to deliver this to the market rapidly.”

UK General Insurance was selected by Debenhams Personal Finance to create a bespoke wedding product that would appeal to a broad range of customers involved in the process of organising weddings.

We built in-house, an entirely white-labelled wedding insurance product. Debenhams branding was translated across the interface of the new product, enabling their customers to experience a seamless quote and buy journey.

Oak Furniture Land

Oak Furniture Land selected UK General to provide a five year full protection furniture guard for new hardwood furniture to protect against every day accidents.

The product was bespoke built to provide stains and accidental damage including heat marks, breakages, pet damage and dents and structural damage to include cracking and warping. Unlike home insurance, claims can be made throughout the five year policy life and there’s no excess.

We worked together with Oak Furniture Land to create a product that was fit for purpose and offered real benefits for their customers.

The company selected UK General Insurance to create their HomeComfort Boiler Repair product with two variations to suit their customer requirements.
