Insurance intermediary Tradesman Saver has added Axa and another unnamed insurer to its business insurance panel, alongside existing carrier Covéa Insurance. Customers can now compare the simultaneous quotes provided for their risk from the three different underwriters. Policies cover tool theft, legal expenses, financial loss and public liability.

Tradesman Saver, which has a history dating back to 1984, also operates through a range of sub brands including Electrician Saver, Carpenter Saver, Cleaner Saver and Professional Saver. In 2024, it was acquired by Jensten, which was subsequently acquired by Bain Capital the following year.

Dean Laming, managing director for Tradesman Saver, said: “We know that sole traders and those running small to medium businesses source several quotes from different providers before making a decision. By offering them three different options in one place – all from market leading underwriters – we will help save them a significant amount of time and make this vital part of business admin that little bit easier.

“Over time, we’ll look to further expand our panel of providers, meaning trades will have an even greater variety of options for insurance cover that’s tailored to their roles.”
