Martin Reynolds, Chief Executive of SimplyBiz Mortgages, commented:
“Adding Legal & General’s well known brand to our general insurance panel will provide our Member Firms with the opportunity to provide wider cover for their clients and is yet another example of the quality support we offer Members of the SimplyBiz Group.
"The extension to our existing relationship with Legal & General means SimplyBiz Mortgage Club Members are some of the first advisers to be able to offer their customers Legal & General’s new flexible Lifestyle Cover product.
"This new product, which enables customers to protect a range of financial commitments, demonstrates how Legal & General has the ability to respond to changing customer needs and deliver a quality solution.
"As well as offering an excellent product range, Legal & General’s commitment to providing help and support to our Member Firms will ensure a flying start to this new business relationship.”
Mark Holweger, Intermediary Director for Legal & General’s general insurance business said:
“It is fantastic to see the partnership between our two organisations, which are both recognised and established brands within the intermediary space, extended with the general insurance business now included on the SimplyBiz General Insurance panel.
"Legal & General is proud of its longstanding and strong relationship as one of the founding providers on the SimplyProtect panel and the addition of our general insurance proposition builds on this success.
"We look forward to sharing our experience and expertise as a general insurance underwriter, to develop a sustainable long-term relationship with Member Firms of the SimplyBiz Group. Our new Lifestyle Cover proposition is an example of our ability to respond to customer concerns and provide a protection offering that means they are able to maintain their lifestyle by continuing to meet their financial commitments, should their position change.
"With the support and hands on training provided by our regional sales team, we’re confident that our range of products, and easy to use sales and application process will provide a very productive additional regular revenue stream for Member Firms of the SimplyBiz Group in the future.”
Members of the SimplyBiz Group can access these new products with immediate effect.
