"Working in collaboration with Gallagher and its clients, LifeSearch will help introduce protection to customers more intuitively, at their point of need."
- Ed Axon, Chief Growth Officer at LifeSearch
This partnership will see Gallagher providing commercial insurance products – including directors’ & officers’ professional indemnity, cyber insurance, and public liability cover – to insure LifeSearch’s Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) clients and individuals who also run businesses.
In return, LifeSearch will advise Gallagher’s micro-SME clients on protection products, including Life Insurance, Critical Illness (CI), Mortgage Protection, and Income Protection (IP).
Gallagher’s services will be delivered by its specialist SME team which currently supports over 120k businesses across the UK and has in-depth knowledge of the unique challenges that SMEs face.
“This partnership is great news for Gallagher & LifeSearch’s SME clients who will now have access to two networks of risk professionals that can arrange the insurance that suits their needs, be it commercial insurance, IP, or Life Insurance,” explained Natasha Barrow, Head of Affinities at Gallagher.
She said: “This partnership will mean that SMEs have direct access to the products that appropriately suit their individual circumstances and we are looking forward to supporting LifeSearch’s clients with their commercial insurance needs so that they can mitigate the risks they face and minimise potential business disruption as a result of an event.”
Ed Axon, Chief Growth Officer at LifeSearch, added that Gallagher has an “impressive roster of clients and brands from all sectors, and partnering with Gallagher to help deliver its own personal protection ‘offering’ is a significant endorsement of our team’s expertise.
“We firmly believe that personalisation is everything. Both Gallagher and LifeSearch are strategically aligned in that it’s our ambition to offer tailored, high-quality, value-adding services that support businesses and their customers. By utilising our experience and insight to offer enhanced personalised journeys and leveraging our PoweredBy hybrid digital and human support and Gallagher’s insurance knowledge, we’re confident that joining forces will help both businesses achieve their bold ambitions,” he concluded.
