Insurance Post's recap of November

Hello from Insurance Post,

RSA’s parent Intact throwing that brand name on the bonfire caught the attention of Post subscribers in November.


Blazing brands

Last Christmas saw RSA bosses say goodbye to personal lines by allowing Admiral to buy their book of business just before Big Ben bonged to mark the start of 2024. This year, in a move bound to leave insurance industry historians in tears, RSA’s parent Intact has decided both the RSA and NIG brand names are no longer special.

Both brands will be dropped next year, to be replaced by the branding of parent company, Intact, Insurance Post’s news editor Scott McGee exclusively revealed in November. Intact are clearly thinking a new year requires a new look. A wise move? Only time will tell.


What to listen to

Before swiftly devouring that selection box Santa delivers, and repenting at leisure, I recommend listening to Post’s Podcast on life sciences insurance.

Listen now

Ed Hunter, life sciences broking leader at WTW, and Tim Galloway, QBE Europe’s portfolio manager for life sciences, discuss weight loss injections, plus the impact off-label drug use and accessing medication via online pharmacies is having on the life science insurance market. Essential listening before you look at your waistline after Christmas and start Googling: How to get slim.
