Changing the image of insurance

APRIL Canada is introducing a new commercial marine offering to its brokers in answer to the expertise gap emerging within the market.

Claude Deslage is heading up the new unit as the National Director of Commercial Marine. “We feel it is a good time for someone to come in and take a fresh approach – to simplify the lives of brokers with commercial marine clients,” he says.

The Company will be looking for synergies with its already strong commercial property, liability and transportation insurance business and to use its expertise within these segments to develop competitive marine products.

The decision to expand into the commercial marine arena was easy according to Nick Kidd, CEO APRIL Canada. “For us it is simply about creating synergies to bring additional value to our brokers,” he says. “We have a strong proposition in the personal marine area, are strong in property and casualty and have great offers in transport and logistics. Completing our offering in the commercial marine space was a natural place to go”.

The Commercial Marine offering will be available to all brokers in Canada.
