AXA in new multimillion-pound partnership with UK MGA DOA

AXA Partners UK & Ireland is to underwrite a range of mass-market leisure travel insurance policies across the DOA Underwriting portfolio, as part of a new strategic multimillion-pound partnership.

The long-term partnership will see  AXA Partners underwriting policies covering medical screening, sports activities and cruises, alongside claims handling management for all brands.

Paul Moloney (pictured), client director at  AXA Partners, said: “Our new partnership with DOA Underwriting Ltd, and its own brand SunWorld, plays a key part in our travel strategy – with the ultimate goal of providing a high standard of insurance cover for as many travellers as possible.

“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.”

Matthew Oliver at DOA Underwriting commented: “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.”
