The platform gives brokers enhanced cross-selling opportunities with two products already available:

The policy includes a broad range of benefits for business owners in the UK, including cover for directors and officers, corporate legal and employment practices liability, employee dishonesty and kidnap and extortion.

A number of new products will become available via Chubb Ignite over the coming months, including accident and health, modular financial lines, office package, excess casualty, environmental, marine and more.
Diane Davidson, Head of eBroking for Chubb in the UK and Ireland, said:
“About 99% of the UK’s 5.5 million companies have fewer than 250 employees. At Chubb we want to give UK and Irish small, medium and middle market businesses the same comprehensive insurance cover and high quality service that bigger companies typically enjoy. Chubb Ignite reflects our commitment to invest in the capabilities offered by digital innovation to give brokers and their SME and middle market clients the value-added services they need to grow in confidence and help them save up time and resources.”
