Keychoice to underwrite commercial lines

SSP is to launch a new business - Keychoice Underwriting - to provide commercial lines products to Keychoice Network's members. Jonathan Davey, who joined SSP last year, will lead the new business. "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to be involved in the creation of a new business with a unique business model," he says. "We have the huge advantage of being able to build on the firm foundations of the existing Keychoice Network which has over 900 members. Keychoice has been working closely with its members and insurer partners since 1994 to create long- term, mutually beneficial propositions and now controls over 3bn GWP. Underwriting commercial lines business is a natural next step and, as we will have no legacies, we will be able to ensure that we deliver what our members want - well priced and designed insurance products, combined with access to experienced underwriters and good service."
