The program manager Accredited Insurance (Europe) Ltd., the wholly owned subsidiary of Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings Ltd., announced it has signed a six-year program management agreement with Policy Expert, a UK Insurtech providing home and motor insurance to over one million customers.

Policy Expert wrote its first home insurance policy in 2011 and has grown rapidly to become one of the UK’s top 10 home insurance providers, expanding into motor in 2019. Its business model is built on leveraging proprietary technology and advanced data analytics, from pricing through to claims, to generate competitively priced cover, strong customer advocacy and high renewal rates.

Targeted capacity over the period is expected to be £2 billion ($2.5 billion) in gross written premium.

We were attracted by Policy Expert’s proven track record, market-leading data management and reporting capabilities, and the expertise and vision of its leadership team. We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship to support Policy Expert’s continued growth,” according to Colin Johnson, Accredited CEO.
