In the past few weeks, NIG have been promoting insurancexpert.co.uk in the press and radio and have received great coverage in national newspapers including The Sunday Observer, The Sunday Express, the Mirror and Mail on Sunday, and on 11 radio stations including BBC Scotland.

As The Sunday Observer writes, "Insurance brokers not only do the legwork... they can make sure you get a policy that meets your precise needs. You can find out where your nearest brokers are by visiting a new website - www.insurancexpert.co.uk"

This is an exciting new initiative by NIG, developed to raise public awareness and help consumers, self-employed, professional and small businesses gain a greater understanding of the benefits of using a broker, through an independently branded website. This is an illustration of NIG's commitment to the broker channel - helping you generate extra leads and revenue.

As Derek Gibbens spokesperson for insurancexpert.co.uk states for BBC Scotland:

"Insurance brokers are impartial, independent and work on behalf of the consumer. They take the time to understand the needs of the consumer, self employed, professional or small business and ensure that the right policy is provided with the right cover and at the right price".

"Brokers have access to many insurers and are adept at placing unusual or difficult risks, such as flooding, antiques, classic cars, buy to let properties. So take the hassle out of insurance by clicking onto www.insurancexpert.co.uk to find your local or specialist broker".
