Rarely does an email pop up from one of the insurance publications which makes me stop what I am doing and read it there and then but todays Insurance Age managed it. They reported that with immediate effect the entire executive board at National Broker ‘Swintons’ had been dismissed by parent company Covea. This is apparently to do with concerns over performance related share schemes. A Covea spokesperson said that they have appointed a new board to ensure the smooth running of the company….. If ever you could pick a day to be a fly on the wall today might have been an interesting one.
