AXA Commercial Lines has launched its tradesmen and professional liability products on Powerplace.

Alasdair Stewart, commercial director at AXA Commercial Lines said: “Online distribution has an increasingly important part to play in commercial lines, particularly at the SME end of the market where competition is fierce.

"Powerplace has done a great job of creating a solution that makes it more efficient for brokers to do business and we’re delighted to be part of its marketplace.”

Powerplace commercial director, Nick Giddings, said: “Launching the AXA tradesmen and professional liability products really strengthens our panel across these lines of business.

"This is just the starting point of the relationship with AXA Commercial Lines and we’re looking forward to adding more AXA products to our marketplace over the coming months."
