By GlobalData“We have recently gone through a rapid expansion phase in the travel space, which has been as a result of our proven capability in this market. Working with DOA, who not only bring new distribution to AXA Partners but also digital expertise, will only strengthen that position further.”
DOA Underwriting director Matthew Oliver: “As a family-owned business, loyalty and customer experience are very important to us, as is being at the forefront of digital technology – both of which are shared values that first attracted us to AXA Partners.
“We are pleased to be entering a new AXA partnership, with the intention of making our customer experience the best it can be. We are extremely optimistic about what we can achieve through this collaboration and how our relationship with AXA Partners will grow in the future.”
Earlier this month, AXA Partners joined forces with ROCK Insurance Group for the travel insurance sector.
