OurNetwork has added Novae to its tradesman’s liability panel.

The move is aimed at offering the group’s members a wider choice of cover, which was previously provided by MMA and Groupama alone.

The addition will also increase the volume of tradesman’s liability risks that can be transacted on OurMarket, the company’s trading platform, and add to other recent improvements.

These include the acceptance of more non-standard and high-risk trades and the provision of additional individual risk underwriting upon referral.

The partnership with Novae will enable OurNetwork to continue to expand into Northern Ireland, adding to facilities already in place for Northern Irish brokers.

The firm’s managing director, Paul Brierley, says the appointment has come about “as a result of continual dialogue with members” and adds that “there will be a significant number of other proposition enhancements to our entire product proposition during the course of 2009.”

OurNetwork’s panel now includes Ace, AIG UK, Arista Insurance, Brit, DAS, Groupama, Home and Legacy, HSB Engineering, Markel, MMA Insurance, Novae, Palladium Insurance, QBE, RBS Finsure, RSA, W. R. Berkley Insurance (Europe) and Zurich Insurance.
