"Accredited brokers will have the opportunity to earn a competitive commission by using the online service, and will be provided with a dedicated link to the product which they can send to their clients."

Mark Trevor, Insurex Expo-Sure managing director, said: “Moving this product online will help our brokers target small event organisers who recognise the importance of insuring their event but who do not have the time to deal with the paperwork.
