Government and Insurers’ Deal Still Unresolved – Increased Premiums Now ‘High Risk’

Posted Date 25/06/2013

Statisticians predict future flood insurance premium levels

The crucial deal between insurers and the Government has yet to be renewed, potentially resulting in more than half a million homeowners and business owners seeing their buildings insurance bills soar by hundreds of pounds.

Currently the number of people paying £500 for their flood insurance premiums stands at 75,000 – but if a new deal is not reached, figures produced by insurance industry statisticians and announced today, predict the number will rise to 650,000. The number of households paying £1,000 will rise to 135,000 from 21,000, and 4,000 households will end up paying over £2,500.

Andrews Sykes and the United Arab Emirates: Going from strength to strength

Posted Date 17/06/2013

The UAE has been an important part of Western Asia, and the global economy for much of the modern era, especially so since the discovery of oil in the 1950’s. Variously influenced by Portugal, The Ottoman Empire and until quite recently, Britain, the UAE is considered one of the most developed economies in the world.

Recognising that despite recent challenges, causing slowdown in some activities such as construction, the Emirates remain a vibrant and strong market, Andrews Sykes has continued to invest in our presence there, through Andrews Sykes Climate Rental.
