Jelf enters mechanical engineering affinity partnership

As part of the partnership, Jelf will create a suite of products, exclusively available to IMechE's 90,000 members, which are specifically tailored to the needs of those working in this highly specialised and varied sector. This includes commercial insurance products with the focus on professional indemnity, liability, directors' and officers' cover as well as general commercial combined.

Andy Tedstone, partnerships director (Insurance), said: "The partnership with IMechE is a great win for us and we are confident we can make a valuable contribution to IMechE members. Our team is highly experienced and technically competent.

"By leveraging our expertise in these specialist areas and working closely with insurers we jointly develop industry leading propositions for niche markets, which are typically underserved by standard insurance policies."

Alastair Barr, commercial development manager at IMechE commented: "Our aim as a membership organisation is to provide members with useful and relevant services to help them and their businesses succeed. Partnering with Jelf on this insurance initiative is a key element of this development strategy.

"Jelf have a track record of working with a range of associations and have advised IMechE of employee benefits. Because they understand the environment in which our members work, they are well placed to provide practical and meaningful advice. We are delighted to be partnering with Jelf and look forward to working with them."
