QBE and Swinton close in on Equity
Insurance Australia Group (IAG) may finally be able to off-load its British insurance arm if a deal, set to be completed by February, finally comes through.
Senior industry sources indicate that the deal would see QBE purchase Equity Redstar, the Lloyd's underwriting business, with Equity Insurance Brokers, the high street broking chain, being snapped up by Swinton.
It appears the proposed management buyout by Neil Utley is now dead in the water and his share of the group will be bought out. However, it has been suggested he will go back to the group to buy Hastings and Advantage, a Gibraltar-based underwriting operation.
