Willis Towers Watson’s UK broking division Willis GB made an operating profit of $20m (£13.8m) in the first quarter of 2016, down 4.8% on the $21m it made in last year’s first quarter.
The division, which comprises Willis’s UK retail broking and London market speciality business, also reported a 2% drop in revenues to $139m (Q1 2015: $142m).
Willis GB’s organic revenue, which excludes the effects of acquisitions and currency movements, also fell by 2%.
The company said Willis GB had enjoyed organic growth across all of its segments – financial lines, transport and property & casualty – but that this was offset by a “cancellation adjustment” related to a large natural resources project.
The division’s operating profit margin for the quarter was 14%.
Willis Towers Watson was formed from the merger of global broking group Willis and consulting firm Towers Watson in 2015.
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.
