BGL Group Launches New Motor Insurance Brand

(PRWEB UK) 11 December 2013

BGL Group today announced the launch of Auto & General, a new motor insurance brand. BGL is working with Coral Underwriting and Enterprise Insurance to bring the new, solus motor insurance product to market.

Auto & General combines BGL’s extensive distribution and marketing capabilities with the underwriting expertise of Coral. Targeting high-value, low-risk customers, the initial phase of the launch will establish a significant customer base. All customers receiving a quote from Auto & General are verified against BGL’s own Data Hub, to ensure both fraud protection and the delivery of the best possible risk profiles and premiums.

Peter Thompson, Group Director, Intermediated Businesses at BGL Group, said: “Auto & General sees BGL providing Coral Underwriting and Enterprise Insurance with a new route to market. Through a careful combination of expertise and experience, this is an extremely strong consumer proposition, tapping into an area of the market which we believe has considerable potential.”

Peter continued: “Working with Enterprise provides us with unique capacity and our new ‘best of breed’ motor insurance product has been designed to be commercially beneficial for all parties. We have some exciting plans in place to achieve our challenging targets over the next year.”

Peter Longstaff at Enterprise Insurance added: “BGL’s leadership in insurance distribution positions it perfectly to help us utilise our additional capacity for the benefit of consumers. We are confident this partnership will offer something completely unique for motorists.”
