London Market’s e-placing platform of choice
Placing Platform Limited is a not for profit company set up in 2016 with a pioneering vision: to create a single market solution for electronic placing that would allow brokers and insurers to quote, negotiate and bind business electronically.
Since the first risk was bound on our platform in July 2016, PPL has expanded to cover almost all classes of risks placed in the London market, and is used by around 200 carriers and 200 broker firms. The success of the platform is attributed to the collaborative nature of its development. With representatives of the entire market contributing expertise, our platform is truly by the market for the market.
PPL supports face to face negotiation across the placement process by enabling a faster and more efficient process for less complex risks. We are the London Market’s e-placing platform of choice, offering a tried and trusted platform with best-in-class customer service to our market.
