Autonet expands in commercial

Autonet Insurance has expanded its commercial product line with the introduction of shops and commercial let insurance.

The new product will sit alongside Autonet’s pre-existing offering of public and employer’s liability, goods in transit, fleet and motor trade insurance.

Autonet’s commercial business uses a panel of insurers including Aviva, Groupama, LV and Zurich.

Commercial sales manager Mark Rigby said: “This is a very exciting time for the commercial business department. We have a great team of advisors who have an excellent understanding of commercial insurance.

“The introduction of shops and commercial let insurance will no doubt be a huge success and increase our gross written premiums throughout the business. With the intake of new staff members and the addition of this new insurance type, we intend to see a huge increase in sales, growing the department from strength to strength.”

Autonet plans to add a further five employees to its 17-strong commercial department by the end of 2012 as part of a five-year plan to see the department reach £100m GWP by its completion.
