NIG is delighted to announce that they have chosen TRACKER Network (UK) Ltd (TRACKER) as their recommended stolen vehicle recovery provider. In partnership with TRACKER, NIG is also pleased to publicise a new customer referral process geared to deliver added benefits to brokers, as well as a continued high level protection to motor insurance customers.

To coincide with the introduction of TRACKER as NIG's recommended stolen vehicle recovery provider, NIG'S new customer referral programme exclusively for brokers will ensure that commission is paid directly to the brokerage for every customer referred who subsequently purchases a TRACKER system. The offer is not limited to a minimum number of referrals and brokers can direct as many customers as they choose to generate additional commission.

Over the past ten years, TRACKER has been the market-leader in the UK for the provision of stolen vehicle recovery systems for customer vehicles. TRACKER's product is unique in the market, using a combination of both GPS and VHF technology to accurately and precisely pinpoint stolen vehicles. TRACKER is currently approved and recommended by 36 vehicle and plant equipment manufacturers in the UK and works closely with dealers up and down the country to provide customers with the most appropriate level of vehicle protection. In addition, TRACKER is the only system approved and operated by all 52 police forces in the UK.

David Brownjohn, Manager Business Banking Sector, NIG, commented: "We are delighted to announce TRACKER as our recommended stolen vehicle recovery provider. Motor customers will now have greater peace of mind on the security front, whether it be for their car, van, motorbike or caravan. TRACKER's wide range of products provide a solution suitable for any vehicle types and their associated underwriting requirements, as well as being backed up by a first-class customer and installation service."
