With effect from 1st November 2011 Equity Red Star will no longer form part of the Towergate Home and Protect insurer panel, following their decision to withdraw from many broker markets.

We are however pleased to announce that we have successfully negotiated a deal with Ageas Insurance Limited, formerly known as Fortis and winner of the General Insurer of the Year at the 2011 British Insurance Awards. Ageas is a leading provider of Personal, Commercial and Protection Insurance in the UK, insuring around 8 million customers.

With effect from the 1st November 2011 Ageas will join our panel providing a bedroom rated product based on our common policy wording. All agents will automatically have access to this new scheme through our website.

New quotations with inception dates up to and including 31st October 2011 will continue to be underwritten by Equity Red Star. Policies currently underwritten by Equity Red Star will be transferred to the Ageas scheme with effect from the policy renewal date.

We welcome any feedback in relation to the latest amendments to our panel and would be happy to discuss this further or provide additional information.
