Strong growth of motor and household sales made up for weak life results at the Co-operative Insurance Society.
The society made a pre-tax loss of £254.1m for 2001, a deterioration from a £49.6m loss the previous year.
General insurance premium income increased to £599.4m in 2001 from £457.7m in 2000. Of this, its motor book and other business saw premiums rise to £405.3m from £273.5m.
The society is to develop products and services with environmental benefits.
Examples include giving policyholders cheaper premiums in return for considering the environmental impact when they claim for a new fridge.
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.
