JM Glendinning Insurance Brokers has been chosen as the Yorkshire-based broker distribution partner of SME health services provider Equipsme.
Equipsme was launched in March 2017 and provides health benefits to businesses with two to 249 employees. Cover options range from £7 to £37 per employee per month, and employees can choose to upgrade their own level of cover or add family members through their mobile devices.
According Nick Houghton, group managing director of JM Glendinning, there is a thriving business community in Yorkshire and the firm believes the Equipsme product can appeal to a diverse range of SMEs there.
“It’s so easy to understand – there isn’t the complicated language that you associate with traditional PMI policies, or the lengthy questionnaires to fill in. That’s why we decided that it sits better with our commercial insurance team. It’s a natural extension of what they do on a day to day basis to help their customers better manage their risks,” Houghton added.
JM Glendinning is based in Leeds, but also has offices in Newcastle, Scarborough, York, Sheffield and Birmingham.
“We’re delighted to bring JM Glendinning on to our distribution panel. It is a highly professional business that has built a strong brand across the region. The firm has a really strong sales team that has a great reputation of looking after their SME customers,” said Equipsme distribution director Gavin Shay.
