NIG Newsletter

NIG Newsletter: "On 4 August we announced a healthy set of half year results, and along with the rest of RBS saw a strong half year performance. I am delighted that our business continues to grow in what has been a challenging soft market, and in July we saw our best ever trading month via our online channel, NIG Network. We now have over 2000 regular users, who have access to our entire range of commercial packages, which were featured in a successful marketing campaign launched in June this year.
Over the coming months we will continue to develop our electronic channels and in September we will launch the first NIG Motor Trade product on imarket, followed by a range of small package SME business, making it even easier for you to do business with us.
As well as expanding our online offering we have also strengthened our underwriting capability by recruiting leading talent in the industry, who will enable us to maximise our product offering. In this edition, I am pleased to introduce a number of new key appointments which include - David Cahoon, Head of Non Motor and John Inwood, Head of Complex Products & Technical Underwriting Support, who join Director of Underwriting & Pricing, Steve Kingshott's senior team.
Also this month we have introduced some new features which put London City office in the spotlight, an interview with Vivek Banga, Director of E-commerce and emerging channels, plus we give you the opportunity to ask our local NIG specialist his views on regulation and fire risk assessment.
Finally, if you would like to contribute to our online magazine or if you have any suggestions or stories you would like to see featured please let me know.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Charles Crawford
Managing Director, NIG"
