Zurich UK and Freedom Services announce joint partnership in commercial van and telematics sectors

The partnership will provide innovative motor products via brokers and customer services including product distribution through Freedom’s sister company Stella Woman Ltd.

As part of a growth strategy envisioned by both companies, the partnership aims to leverage the strengths and expertise of Freedom Services as an MGA and Zurich as a highly respected leading insurance provider.

Founder and Chair of Freedom Services and Stella Woman Ltd, Sam White, said:

“This collaboration represents a great opportunity for our organisations and, more importantly, for our customers.

“Zurich are culturally a great fit for us, and our teams have already forged a strong bond. By combining our strengths, we are poised to set new standards in the commercial van and telematics space, offering unparalleled value and service.”

David Nichols, Head of Retail, Zurich UK, said:

“Last year Zurich announced that we were refocussing our strategy to maximise growth opportunities while building our MGA and partnership relationships.

“Freedom is a company with a fantastic proposition and an ethos that aligns closely with ours. Their depth of knowledge, and the quality of their proposition, reaffirms our commitment to finding the very best innovative solutions for our customers.”
