General Insurance Overview

teamworkIn working with our General Insurance clients we are keenly aware of the dynamics driving and shaping our industry. The traditional insurer, broker, customer relationship is a model of yesterday, today and tomorrow is a battleground that is fierce, competitive and bloody.

Google offering price aggregation...

Panic ImageI had shivers running down my spine when I read that Google has entered the UK price comparison market for credit cards.   Why is this relevant for insurance you might ask? Well for three reasons:

Buy versus Build – does it really matter?

Buy v build imageThe 'Buy versus build' technology debate has exercised the minds of technologists and business executives from almost the point when the first in-house mainframe rolled off the back of the delivery lorry. But in recent times the points of difference have shifted and made the consideration potentially more subtle.'

Solvency 2 - Must try harder?

Solvency 2 jumping over hoopsRecent feedback from the FSA’s Thematic work on Solvency 2 implies that there is much more to do. How confident are you that your Solvency 2 implementation programme is on track to deliver?

Solvency 2 – Plan for success today

Diane Williams's picture

Solvency 2 risk image2012 may still appear a long way off, but for those who have not yet started their Solvency 2 Change Programme, there may well be a struggle to reach the finish line in time. One fact is clear, any organisation approaching Solvency 2 purely as a compliance exercise has missed the point and is therefore likely to struggle to drive through and secure the business efficiency opportunities that are clearly there to be gained.

NFU Mutual

"My experience of working with Winchester White is that they have matched the skills and personalities of their people to the needs of our people, they have taken the trouble to understand our business drivers (without a long and expensive learning curve), they have recognised where we start from and then helped us move forward in a pragmatic way whilst keeping us focused on business benefits."

Bob Newton
Deputy Chief Executive, NFU Mutual


Secondary Intermediary

"Insurance sales for our business are a secondary activity and despite every effort to meet all of the legislative requirements in this area we did not possess the internal expertise in this field. Winchester White was appointed to conduct a compliance health check to satisfy senior management that everything was in order. The visit was very useful in providing comfort that the majority of processes were appropriately in place, however a number of improvements were also identified where documents and controls required amendments or to be updated. Winchester White was able to explain the legislation in plain English and help us to put added procedures in place which should minimise any risks to our customers."

AXA

“Winchester White played a critical role recently in helping us select a new solution for our Commercial Lines Business. From an initial review of potential systems and partners, they worked with us right through the review and selection process. Their insight and general observations throughout the vendor selection process was invaluable.”

Morgan Spillane
IT & Change Management Director, AXA UK
