The official launch took place at the Vox Conference Centre on 22 June and was a roaring success. Presentations from a number of SSP’s senior staff provided the audience of 130 brokers with an eagerly anticipated insight into the functionality available in SSP Broking, the next steps and the support available to ensure they get the most from the software.
The reaction from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with brokers keen to be early adopters of the solution and describing it as exactly what they needed.
Peter Smits, Managing Director at Ashbourne Insurance Services said:
“We want our business to remain at the cutting-edge of technology, streamlining things and making it easy for our customers, so SSP Broking is absolutely something we will sign up to. I am confident that in SSP we have the right partners with which to develop and grow our business for many years to come.”
Mike Astfalck, Managing Director at AE Russell Insurances:
“From a broker’s point of view, we are looking to do less ticks and more in terms of turning policies over, and that’s what SSP Broking is going to allow us to do.”
For brokers who are unable to attend the event, SSP will be running a series of regional roadshows later in the year.
Adrian Coupland, Customer and Marketing Managing Director at SSP said:
“SSP Broking heralds a new dawn in the way brokers do business. I am delighted to see so many brokers enthusiastically embracing the future.
“To complement the launch of SSP Broking and ensure brokers drive greater efficiencies, we have built a dedicated utilisation team to help brokers make the most of the features available. Together, these are the first of a number of exciting developments in our strategy to champion our customers.”
