QBE and Open GI have deepened ties with a new partnership.

The business insurance specialist – which already offers its Mini Fleet and Tradesman products on Powerplace SME and Powerplace Micro, respectively – has launched QBE Office, which will be available across all Open GI broker platforms including Mobius.

Available for nearly every type of SME office, the policy includes contents, business interruption, employers’ liability, public liability, and legal expenses as standard. Optional covers include terrorism.

“We welcome the addition of QBE Office to our existing Powerplace range, bolstering our commercial SME panel, allowing our brokers to integrate electronically and trade more seamlessly via their insurer agency arrangement,” commented Open GI chief sales officer David Kelly.

Meanwhile Corinne Pringle, e-trade development manager at QBE, cited the firm’s distribution initiative.

“Our ongoing SME e-trade programme is about giving brokers more support, more flexibility, and more choice in how and when they trade with QBE,” noted Pringle. “We are delighted to be expanding our range and strengthening our relationship with Open GI.”
