Propery specialist Erinaceous Group reported "modest" profit growth in its insurance services division in 2005.
The group reported a 3% organic growth in profits to £10.9m for the full year. This was against £10.6m in 2004, calculated on a pro-forma basis.
Including acquisitions, 2005 profit was £11.3m, an increase of 7% on 2004.
Divisional revenues fell by 2% on 2004 to £21.8m. But acquistions bolstered revenues to £22.4m in 2005, an increase of 1% on the previous year.
The group said operating margins "remained strong" at 50%, compared to 48%. This, it said, was the result of the "niche and specialised areas the division operates in".
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
