New Hastings division to focus on affinity deals

Hastings Insurance Services is launching a new specialist division, Hastings Partnerships, to handle all of the company’s affinity and partnership business.

Hastings Partnerships will be led by business development director Andy Kirton.

Based at Hasting’s Newmarket offices, the new affinity division will capitalise on its existing relationships, infrastructure and technology.

Kirton said: “The breadth of our panel, the competitiveness of our rates, together with our quote ability level, enables us to add value and profits for many existing businesses across a range of sectors from insurance through to retail, utilities and transport.

“We already have a number of significant partnership agreements in test for launch in 2011 ranging from conventional affinity agreements served online and through our Newmarket call centre through to existing media deals."

Hastings Partnerships said it has several new commercial agreements in place including Towergate Riskline, part of the Towergate Network.

Hastings Partnerships will provide personal lines general insurance products and an overflow call facility.
