SPECIALIST motor insurer ERS has enhanced its offering to market with the launch of a brand new Professional Sports and Entertainment proposition.
Designed for professional sports people and those in the entertainment profession, including actors, musicians and journalists, the solution provides broad cover across a wide range of vehicles, from the everyday through to the exotic.
The product will be available through specialist brokers with established sports and entertainment portfolios with direct access to a dedicated underwriting team provided.
The launch of a distinct offering for this sector is a natural extension of ERS's emphasis on specialism and a reflection of its broad risk appetite, and responsiveness to very specific broker needs.
Policy benefits include:
1. Comprehensive cover for driving other vehicles
2. Enhanced legal expenses
3. Agreed Value service available on request
4. Choice of repairers
5. Optional breakdown cover
6. Premium courtesy car
Tom Donachie, Head of Bespoke at ERS said: "There are over 17,500 professional sportsmen and women in Britain1 and more than 40,000 registered entertainers,2 yet the Professional Sports & Entertainment motor market remains limited, with only a few insurers providing capacity. Our broker partners have expressed a strong desire for direct access to specialist underwriters as opposed to relying on using wholesale arrangements. We see a clear opportunity to expand our footprint in this highly diverse market and have developed a proposition to match, if not exceed, the demands of both customers and brokers alike. As an A+ rated insurer we can also provide stability and assurance to our partners and policyholders."
