Digital insurance platform provider EIS has joined group risk industry body Grid.
The EIS cloud-native technology platform supports lines of insurance business, with clients including tier one general insurance providers.
Around 40% of its clients operate in group protection, with its technology providing support from quotation to claim, the firm said.
Jonathan Phillips, protection market lead at EIS, said: “We are really excited to be working with Grid. The UK group protection space has huge potential but there is a need for technology and automation to create efficiencies particularly within smaller schemes.
“We hope joining grid will open doors and increase potential in both directions.”
Paul White, chairman of Grid (pictured), said: “This is a perfect example of how Grid works to the advantage of its members, with one company supporting others in their quest for growth, and vice versa.
“We are very pleased to welcome EIS Group and hope that the enthusiasm they show for technology and the industry will help to continue progress and innovation within group risk.”
