Broker Network and Countrywide Continue to Recruit New Members

Broker Network and Countrywide move into Q2 having secured almost 100 new Members in total across the Broker Network Member, Broker Network Associate and Countywide Plus propositions in the last four months.

These new recruits include Broker Network Members Leagold Ltd of Essex, Aynsley Insurance Brokers of Stoke-on-Trent and Ault Insurance Brokers of West Bromwich.

Nick Houghton, Sales and Marketing Director for the Network Division commented on this performance today:

“Over the last few months, we have been talking to brokers and finding that the current economic climate, coupled with an increased need to differentiate businesses and services is leading to an increased requirement for support beyond that of enhanced commissions.

Through Broker Network and Countrywide Plus, we continue to make the most out of our 350 employees and of all their expertise and experience by offering real value through marketing, compliance, HR and IT support. It’s important for all of our existing Members, both old and new, to know that there’s more to us than significant commission uplifts. That’s what guarantees our longevity and stability in this difficult market.”

John Tew, Director of Ault Insurance Brokers who joined Broker Network on 01 May 2009 commented today:

“For us, it was of paramount importance that in joining a Network, we were in no way compromising our independence. Having met with Broker Network, it was very quickly apparent that becoming a Member would in fact protect our independence and allow us to further develop our own business initiatives. These guarantees, coupled with access to an unrivalled Insurer Partner Panel led us to believe that Broker Network was indeed able to offer us long term support and security in the provision of insurer and business services.”

Broker Network introduced their Associate proposition in 2008, with more than 60 brokers having signed up to date. Countrywide Plus, offering the same levels of insurer and business support, was launched later in the year. In excess of 70 brokers are now enjoying the benefits of this latest proposition.
