"General insurance is an important part of helping clients protect what matters most, and we want to make it as easy as possible for advisers to have those conversations."
- Paul Shearman - The Openwork Partnership
The Openwork Partnership has announced the addition of Uinsure to its General Insurance (GI) panel, joining existing panel provider Paymentshield.
This comes as part of a wider refresh of Openwork's GI proposition, aiming to support competitive pricing and improve long-term value for clients.
Openwork says that Uinsure was selected for the strength of its insurer panel, the quality of its product offering and its reputation for service among advisers and clients. The insurer panel includes Lloyds Bank General Insurance, which is available exclusively through Uinsure in the mortgage intermediary market.
"General insurance is an important part of helping clients protect what matters most, and we want to make it as easy as possible for advisers to have those conversations," Paul Shearman, mortgage & protection proposition director at The Openwork Partnership, said.
"Adding Uinsure brings another high-quality provider into our offering, helping advisers place more cases and meet a wider range of client needs.
"As the market continues to evolve, we remain focused on ensuring our proposition evolves with it. Together, Uinsure and Paymentshield provide advisers with access to a strong combination of technology, expertise and insurance solutions, helping them deliver holistic advice and positive outcomes for clients."

Lauren Bagley, chief distribution officer at Uinsure, added: "Our technology is built around making home insurance as simple as possible for advisers and their clients.
"Our three-question quote has been doing exactly that for some time now, and Openwork advisers can arrange standard and non-standard cover in one place with us, either quoting it themselves or referring it to our team, so every client can be looked after without leaving the platform.
"Openwork's network is one of the most respected in the market, and we're delighted to be working with its advisers. We share a focus on making advice easier and more complete for clients, and we're looking forward to helping Openwork firms make insurance a natural part of every mortgage conversation."
