RWA and AVIVA launch the AVIVA Compliance Deal to AVIVA Brokers

RWA is delighted to announce that following a thorough tender process AVIVA has awarded us a long term contract to provide FSA compliance services to its Key Partners, Club 110 members and to the Broker Independence Group. The deal, effective from June 2010, enables AVIVA qualifying brokers to use RWA’s compliance services as outlined on the Clear Compliance Page at discounted rates, subsidised by AVIVA.

Our Westinsure client brokers who are eligible for the discounts above will be individually contacted by their usual RWA contact but can find out more by speaking to their consultant or the helpdesk.

Ian Ritchie, Managing Director of RWA, adds, “The AVIVA Compliance Deal with RWA is a very attractive proposition for general insurance brokers. What we have been most impressed about with AVIVA is their commitment to building lasting relationships with the broking community and the structure of this deal means that we can still provide high end support to brokers where each broker signed up to our service has their own compliance consultant who understands not only their business, but also that no two brokers are the same.

The brokers that we have spoken to and who have signed up for the service already have all agreed that both the cost and the value provided in the deal are very attractive compared to what else is out there in the market.”

Qualifying brokers can contact RWA or their usual AVIVA contact for more information. AVIVA are also providing an introductory offer to brokers who sign up before 30th September 2010.
