The newly launched online directory aims to streamline the process of accessing partner schemes that offer AXA-underwritten products across a diverse array of non-standard trades and sectors.

Recognizing the challenges brokers face when presented with unique or specialist businesses to insure, AXA has curated this directory to provide a comprehensive selection of partner schemes. These schemes cater to a wide range of non-standard trades and sectors, alleviating the complexities associated with finding suitable coverage for hard-to-place risks.

The Scheme Specialists directory is thoughtfully organised into six distinct categories: Specialty, Contractors, Liability, Motor, Property, and Combined. Brokers can effortlessly navigate through these sections to explore information about schemes tailored to each area, significantly reducing the time and effort spent in identifying appropriate coverage solutions for their niche clientele.

Gary Head, AXA Commercial’s Director of Schemes and Delegated Authorities, said: “As a business with a broad and loyal broker following, this simple concept of connecting the ‘weird and wonderful’ world of schemes with that distribution capability really is a genius idea.”

He added: “If we can make it easier for brokers to navigate our extensive portfolio of schemes, it improves the service we all provide to customers while opening up new opportunities to grow our partners businesses. We are very hopeful that the Schemes Specialists directory will be a real asset to our fantastic broker partners who are frequently presented with niche or non-standard risks to place.”
