Insurance is a cornerstone of UK financial services. Encompassing underwriters, brokers and intermediaries. Insurance firms provide services to consumers and companies which enable them to go about their business, and daily lives.
The ubiquity of insurance services, and their importance, means the sector is rarely out of the regulatory spotlight. Both the PRA and FCA have consistently focussed on the sector.
