Following the acquisition of the LV= and L&G General Insurance (GI) businesses Allianz moves to the #2 spot for GI in the UK.

"In the first quarterly update since the acquisitions, Allianz Holdings chief executive Jon Dye said the business had experienced good underlying growth over the quarter, but that the coronavirus pandemic was leading to a slowdown of new business.

“The company has doubled in size to become the second largest general insurer in the UK and achieved substantial underlying growth in both commercial and personal lines,” he said. “However, the quarter also saw significant claims for storms and floods amounting to £68m, and the slowdown in new business due to Covid-19 was already being felt at the end of Q1.”
