More than 60 per cent of intermediaries have said they are confident about business growth in the next 12 months, according to a Sterling Insurance survey.
The survey, conducted between March and April, asked advisers if business would deteriorate, stay the same or improve - for overall business and personal and commercial lines.
According to the survey, there was a 20% increase in brokers from last year who rated Sterling products and services highly.
David Sweeney, head of commercial and personal lines at Sterling, said the survey was an "excellent" way of communicating with advisers.
Sterling recently achieved CII Chartered Status for household, commercial claims and underwriting teams.
