The Marmalade Group aims to get young drivers on the road in safer, newer cars at an affordable price. That means not only negotiating discounts with auto makers but also devising special, telematics-backed insurance products. Crispin Moger is managing director of the family-owned company, which operates two divisions: Young Marmalade and Provisional Marmalade. Young Marmalade provides telematics services to help young drivers develop safer skills, so they can get lower insurance rates. Provisional Marmalade is an insurance product for learners that provides coverage without endangering parents' policies and rates. Moger spoke with TU contributor Susan Kuchinskas about how Marmalade gets insurers and OEMs to the table.
