The British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) has relaunched its website and asked members to update their details.
As well as being a central resource for members, the site has a new ‘Find a Broker' search function to promote brokers to customers.
A new library has been formed with member updates, which provide information and guidance on key regulation and technical issues affecting brokers.
The Find a Broker search currently receives around 30,000 hits per month and puts customers looking for insurance in touch with BIBA members.
It now has a prominent ‘quick search' on the homepage and a more advanced search allowing both commercial and personal lines customers to search for brokers by location and type of insurance.
BIBA has integrated Google maps into the ‘Find a Broker' search function and is working with a range of publications, charities and Government departments to help raise the profile of its ‘Find a Broker' services.
Eric Galbraith, BIBA Chief Executive, said: "Our new website has been designed to address two key areas - firstly keeping members up to speed on the changes to our sector, and secondly to help drive business to brokers and help customers to find adequate insurance.
He added: "The next step following the launch is the new Iphone app for ‘Find a Broker' so I would urge members to make sure that the details we hold for them are up to date."
Other new initiatives on the website include real time tweets feeding directly onto the homepage.
