Groupama Insurances gets the show on the road
'Facing the Future Together' Broker Roadshows across the UK
Groupama Insurances is hitting the road with a series of Broker Roadshows as part of its ongoing commitment to develop close and individual relationships with commercial brokers across the UK. With a theme of ‘Facing the future together', the first roadshow will take place in Manchester on 27th April.
Allison Andrews, Head of Commercial Distribution at Groupama Insurances said: "Groupama Insurances has undergone some significant changes in the past 6 months and we're now keen to communicate the new people, expertise and products we have in place to support broker business.
"From variable commission to enhancements to our tradesman product – Optima Trade Plus - along with key underwriting skills, there are lots of things to discuss and this is a prime opportunity for brokers and Groupama to get up close and personal. In particular we will be talking about our future plans and discussing how we can align this with our brokers' business aspirations."
The sessions will also include a brief overview of how Groupama can assist brokers in their marketing and CRM efforts with details of specially tailored workshops that have been developed for Groupama's supporting brokers.
Allison Andrews concludes; "This is a great opportunity to demonstrate who we are and what we do and to learn more about what we can do to create mutually profitable business. The closer we are to brokers, the better we are able to anticipate and respond to their needs and those of their customers, helping them to win and retain business in this fiercely competitive climate."
