The Cobra Network has unveiled a refreshed proposition and visual identity. Since being acquired by PIB Group (‘PIB’), the 17-year-old independent brokers network has been using the Group’s leverage to members’ advantage.
Some of the changes include leadership under Andy Tedstone who has brought in new insurers, benefits, deals and a fresh way of working. The changes reflect PIB’s commitment to invest in the Cobra Network proposition to help grow its membership and support it through more products, technology and people. As a result, membership has been growing since the start of the year.
Andy Tedstone, CEO for Cobra Network commented: “We’ve been delighted to welcome several new members to Cobra and believe the surge in membership is because we’ve proven we have something very real to offer. For independent brokers, relying on the strength of Cobra could make all the difference to the success of their business. We’re listening carefully to our members and in regular dialogue so we can provide the support they need.”
By enlisting the support of Cobra, members can unlock their business potential in two main ways:
- increase profitability through access to a wider range of market-leading products along with enhanced commissions, override payments and premium finance arrangements.
- create growth by targeting new lines of business and to deliver new revenue streams, thanks to exclusive placement facilities and access to specialist underwriters.
Andy Tedstone commented: “Cobra is flexible and non-intrusive. Members are free to place their business wherever they please, and they don’t need to change their IT system. Our sole purpose is to help the independents. With a recession almost inevitable, we know that brokers are going to need all the support they can get, and that’s what we’re here for.”
