<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Darren

<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Darren
and his team have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the full cycle of
developing, delivering and servicing an insurance based scheme for an organisation.
Darren goes on to say:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Our
definition of an Affinity Group Insurance Scheme is a Portfolio of Business for
an identified and closely-connected Group of individuals, Companies, or
Organisations who have common interest through their collective Membership of
the Affinity Group to which they belong.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Many
trade associations, member organisations and even large businesses are
beginning to comprehend the advantages of forming an insurance affinity scheme
for their customers/members. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
objective of any affinity scheme is to offer 'added value' through
differentiation by designing a product, or range of offerings that are of
interest and benefit to members, customers or employees. This can create
revenue streams for associations, whilst at the same time improving member
loyalty and helping to generate new members. For employers these schemes can
support retention and reward strategies.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">As
a result of the above it is possible either to produce through our providers a
bespoke Insurance Policy or offering for the Group which is innovative and
attractive and where a Rating Matrix has been set which determines the premium
levels payable for each Member of the Group. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #414141; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Alternatively,
for those Groups where there is diversity and complexity of activity amongst
the Membership or customer base, particularly Commercial client Affinity Groups,
the underwriting facilities may be designed to allow the individual
underwriting of the Insurance Product for the Members of the Group either on a
'Prior Submit' basis, or on an electronic E-Commerce basis.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
