Motor Insurer of the Year: Winner - Zurich

As one of the UK's leading motor insurers, Zurich would like to thank all those who voted for us. We are delighted to have won the Motor Insurer of the Year award.

In a fiercely competitive market, our approach is to offer quality motor insurance for personal and business customers, with underwriting integrity and an award winning claims service that aims to keep drivers on the road with minimum inconvenience and well-managed risk.

Meeting the needs of individuals, small and large businesses, we can provide brokers with a range of motor products that add real value and enable drivers to take a proactive approach to managing road risk.

2004 saw us launch a small fleet proposition for SMEs. In 2005, we will continue to lead the motor insurance market with the priority on road safety and awareness.

Highly commended

NIG

We are delighted to be highly commended for the Motor Insurer of the Year at this year's Insurance Times awards.

Recognition from NIG's customers, the brokers, is particularly meaningful.

It demonstrates that NIG is working in partnership with its brokers and succeeding in a competitive market.

NIG's commitment to brokers and consistent presence in the motor market, combined with high service standards, has been key to its success, both in business terms and this award.

NIG continually research its broker's opinion on how well it is doing, especially in relation to service standards. As a result of this research, NIG have introduced local rate telephone numbers, just one of the ways NIG is helping brokers reduce costs.

NIG, part of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, has been protecting people and their businesses with a range of policies for more than 100 years.

NIG is one of the UK's leading insurance providers and has a national network of offices throughout the UK. NIG is ideally positioned to offer a range of local solutions for business insurance.

Fortis Insurance

Recognition of our success in the Insurance Times Motor Insurer of the Year 2004 category is a great achievement.

The commitment that we have received from our intermediaries, brokers and the strength of our partnerships is fundamental in our success, without their support we would not be in the position we are today.

We have continued to develop our position in this competitive market place and rank as the fourth largest private car insurer in the UK, based on a policy count of 1.3 million.

This growth would not have been possible without the team of our highly skilled dedicated staff, consistent competitive pricing and commitment to service excellence.

Throughout the organisation we have focussed on the development of an efficient and customer-friendly service. We concentrate on delivering good claims management and underwriting performance. This combination ensures that we maintain a first class service to our customers.
