South British Insurance Sees Drop in Net Premium
At the annual meeting of South British Insurance, the chairman reported net premiums fell by £1511 from last year due to dropping an unprofitable line. Expenses rose by £10,636 due to converting to a limited liability company and Tire Brigades Act payments. Underwriting profit stood at £14,768 or 4.64 percent, down from 6.91 percent. In New Zealand the fire book showed an overall loss amid inadequate fire rates and stiff legislation, but the year’s result remained satisfactory given these drawbacks.
