PPL has launched an express contract functionality to make it quicker and easier for brokers to bind risks, significantly shortening the time taken to create single contract placements. PPL is a technology company owned by the London & International Insurance Brokers’ Association, the Lloyd's Market Association, the International Underwriting Association of London and Lloyd's.

Colin O’Malley, COO of PPL said: “The launch of express contracts marks a significant step in our efforts to deliver an intuitive user experience. This latest development brings new navigation tools, clearer screen layouts and a streamlined process, making it quicker and easier for brokers to place risk.”

“We have put in place a broad range of pre-launch and post-launch demonstrations as well as training support for our 10k [sic] broker platform users; I have been delighted with the positive response we have received to date.”
