Arkel Underwriting Broadens Distribution with Open GI Integration

Managing general agent Arkel’s landlords let property insurance product is now available via the Open GI trading platform.

The integration allows all Open GI brokers to access its Landlords Let Property product. Arkel’s non-standard household product is already available to Open GI brokers.

Arkel’s Landlord book includes landlords’ building insurance, loss of income, contents, and property owners’ liability up to £2 million.  The product offers brokers a highly responsive solution, backed by A-rated capacity, for non-standard and harder to place risks – including atypical construction, occupancy, flood, and subsidence risks – directly via the platform.

Kris Lee, Chief Underwriting Officer at Arkel, said: “We’re excited to add Open GI to our growing list of distribution partners. Going live on the Open GI trading platform assists us in our mission to take the complexity out of specialist insurance.”

Simon Macray, Director of Insurer Relations at Open GI, comments: “The addition of Premier Let by Arkel offers even more choice and flexibility to our brokers across our broking platforms. Our ultimate aim is to empower brokers to write more and better-quality business and to improve the lives of anyone using insurance products. Arkel is an innovative MGA and we’re pleased to support them to broaden their reach.”
