Amlin Insurance Services has diversified its UK commercial business by successfully growing its package and liability accounts into a better margin environment.




Our commercial motor account has maintained its income at £98.0 million and is now among the leading commercial motor businesses in the UK. Commercial motor rates continue to increase above claims inflation, helping us maintain a good underwriting margin.

With the shortage of capacity in UK liability classes pushing up rates to good levels, we have grown our income from £14.9 million to £44.3 million. We anticipate rates will continue to increase more in liability classes, and that this, together with our growing commercial package business, will form the core areas of growth for 2003.
