NIG has launched a new trading solution for personal lines brokers who transact small amounts of commercial lines business.

The solution, Commercial Choice, offers commercial package policies through a
central call centre facility established to provide quotes for brokers across the UK.

NIG's commercial managing director Charles Earle said the solution has gone live to almost 300 brokers in the UK.

The policies are designed to support NIG's regional office strategy by providing an alternative trading platform for commercial package business to brokers whose main classes are primarily personal lines. The initiative follows on from the recent launch of NIG's commercial quotation system for commercial package policies.

Earle said: "NIG Commercial Choice has been developed as an effective application for a sizeable group of brokers, thus widening the range of intermediaries we can support for commercial business.

"The success and wider applications of Commercial Choice will not only go a long way in satisfying the service requirements of brokers, but will also allow NIG's commercial regions to focus on its bespoke underwriting."
