Brussels-headquartered multinational insurer Ageas has announced a new five-year agreement for land and estates insurance with R K Harrison, the specialist rural division of Howden UK.
Effective from July 1, 2020, the scheme has been designed to support a range of insurance needs across the rural sector.
Under the agreement, farmers, landowners and estates of all sizes can access land and estate insurance policies that are tailored for their specific risks.
The product will also be made available to The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) members. R K Harrison has been the CLA’s insurance partner since 2002.
“We’re open to new opportunities that broaden our portfolio and grow our commercial business,” said Russell White, Director of Distribution at Ageas UK.
“This agreement with R K Harrison does exactly that and is further evidence of our commitment to the commercial market. We look forward to working with them on this well-established product.”
Patricia Jones, Head of Rural at R K Harrison, also commented: “We are delighted to partner with Ageas on this new scheme. Like R K Harrison they have a deep track record and heritage in supporting the rural community.”
“This new scheme will further cement our position as a leader in the rural insurance market and provide our clients with the competitive and tailored insurance they need,” Jones added.
