Aviva and Prestige Underwriting Services have agreed a five-year distribution deal covering home insurance for personal lines customers.

The deal will see Aviva underwrite cover for non-standard home risks in England, Scotland and Wales which will be distributed through Prestige’s network of 500 brokers and affinity partners.

The agreement runs until 2025 and builds on an existing relationship where Aviva underwrites motor policies for Prestige.

Phil Bayles, Aviva Chief Distribution Officer, said: “It is great news that we are expanding our partnership with Prestige. We already have a strong relationship – having worked with them on motor – and this builds on that success and further demonstrates our commitment to growth through our broker personal lines business.”

Alison Williams, Managing Director at Prestige Underwriting, added, “Prestige Underwriting has an established relationship with Aviva in the Northern Ireland Motor market and we are absolutely delighted to build on it with this five-year deal on our non-standard home product offering. Our home product portfolio has continually evolved and we are fully committed to delivering niche solutions to our valued network of Brokers and partners as we embark on our extended partnership with Aviva, the UK’s leading insurer.”

Pleasantly surprised to see my Avia dividend forgot they were paying one!

if it can be used to redeem debt at 6.5% so be it

[edmundshaw] 02/10/2020 11:31

£7 billion 10 year euro note:

Tranche 1 in Canadian dollars, C$450,000,000 @ 4.00% fixed.

Seems OK but if disposals can pay down debt, how much of this does Aviva need?

Then we need a politically driven leader who is a rational (common sense) thinker perhaps?

[cjac39] 01/10/2020 22:15

great leaders yes but how do you separate political from rational. politically it plays well to fear covid and be tough on covid. rationally the data is clear since mar that covid is not a new disease. sweden excelled because they left the response to sensible knowledgeable epidemiologists. we and many other countries failed because politicians were in charge alongside mainstream media baying for blood and lockdowns. some fairly deep questions about how western world caused a c £1trillion loss over nasty flu.

[steved] 01/10/2020 21:21

cjac,

what a brilliant response thank you so much and I agree whole heartedly. Expert leadership is vital in all walks of life. Done well it makes a huge difference. The greatest leaders make everyone else look good and know that they need to be surrounded by the very best, to formulate and deliver well thought through strategies. Great leaders are facilitators of the highest order. Britain is crying out for good leadership. My dearest wish is that someone from somewhere could come to the fore. Big ask I know! Here's hoping AB proves to have first class leadership qualities to put Aviva right at the top of the pile, thereby rewarding all stakeholders and helping rebuild our shattered economy and be a beacon of success.

knock yourself out steved

its entirely relevant to macro and aviva

its just unforgiveable how the whole world has allowed compliance orientated, public health people to somehow infect the narrative that we should strive for zero risk.

life is full of risk and all decisions should be risk based. as soon as you convert risk into deaths that could have been saved or avoidable deaths, despite the fact that medically and epidemiologically thats nonsense, you engage in a race to the bottom.

history will not treat the glum and glummer idiots like vallance and witty well and boris will forever be the worst pm ever i suspect

btw its refreshing how prevalent these views are becoming as it signals rationality over super cautious lockdown everything views

It's ridiculous. For 95% of the populous it's no worse than a bad cold. If you're old (over 85) unhealthy and overweight then I can understand your concerns. For everyone else it's complete overkill and the economy is dying by a thousand cuts. spud

[cjac39] 01/10/2020 18:28

As do I. Just to add the test and trace has led to 50,000 isolations (majority are household contacts and close contacts) at a cost of £12bln or 240k per isolation

Just mental

[eurofox] 01/10/2020 18:23

I second all of that SteveD

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 01/10/2020 17:33

Take that off the share price.

[hhhold2] 01/10/2020 15:58

nah,
never mind about bungling Boris, run this down to 210p again so I can top up some more!

ta,
cheers Sid.

Here s an absolutely outrageous idea
Re in-state the cancelled dividend and pay it
Would be unprecedented but would be a show of good faith and lay down a marker for the markets
Would also more importantly restore some integrity to the Aviva brand

Sounds like heaven and then we wake up ?

[1robbob] 01/10/2020 14:05

The Tories will leave Boris in post until after Brexit has been completed.
...Nobody in their right mind would want either responsibility
Then depending on the results of Brexit and Covid there could well be a
change!!!!

Meanwhile, Aviva will cruise forward with the steady hand of AB at the tiller.
Selling undersized businesses, energizing staff to achieve higher returns, improving the share price and...payng handsome dividends to long suffering shareholders

Well I can dream....

[jubberjim] 01/10/2020 13:50

No
But I do think Boris is a liability
The core supporters have seen their income slashed by the withdrawal of declared dividends
They have watched their pension investments shriveled to the inability of the government to take decisive action such as that taken by other countries at the start of their crisis
China took swift action and halted all trading for 1 week at the beginning of this pandemic volatility
Other countries in Europe embargoed the short selling of stocks that were coming under pressure from the hedge funds
Meanwhile Boris and his chief advisor come up with a set of measures to underpin and stop the spread of the virus
They then promptly disregard that advice and think there will be no consequences
This government has no credibility and as such we are all suffering
The poor performance of Aviva is primarily down to the vaccilation attitude of the former CEO Maurice Tulloch and the BOD
That is why we are suffering
It will not be forgotten come the next election
But the ineptitude and lack of resolve shown by Boris et Al is nothing short of disgraceful
I thought Ms Blanc has started of well but now needs to continue to restore confidence and start the share price moving in the right direction

[spud] 01/10/2020 13:50

Absolutely not! But a change in direction re the massive overreaction to this virus would do wonders for the economy and Markets!!The UK should be open for business not cowering under a rock ffs!spud
