Composite Legal Expenses have signed a 5 year deal with Solutio Europe to offer a wide range of
assistance products to the UK broking, affinity group and schemes markets.

The deal capitalises on both parties’ special skill sets. Solutio works with Composite on product development and then uses its sales and marketing skills in this sector to attract the clients. Composite - through its subsidiary Composite Assistance Limited – sources underwriters and provides the FSA-compliance, operational infrastructure, technology and service elements.

Commenting on the relationship Composite’s MD John Mullin says:
“We’re very excited about this deal as such a comprehensive offering eliminates the hassle-factor for the broker or affinity group in having to source the right products and underwriters whilst the support service Composite is providing takes the other headache away and gives a fully compliant solution. And, our relationship with Solutio Europe generates new additional business for us. In fact, even though it’s very early days in our arrangement, we’re already seeing a very satisfactory business flow.”

Initial products being offered are Motor Breakdown Assistance, Domestic Emergency Assistance, Brown and White Goods Insurance, GAP Products, Payment Protection Insurance, Warranty Products and the range of Legal Expenses products.

Chris McDonald, Joint MD of Solutio Europe’s Business and Client Development Operation, adds:

“With the aim of becoming the largest provider of assistance and added- value insurance products by the end of 2006 we’re delighted to be working with a high profile organisation like Composite allowing us to focus on delivering new products to brokers and affinity groups giving them an edge in the competitive market place. And, there are some exciting agreements and products in the pipeline - more of those another day!”
