Rob Terry, Chairman and Chief Executive of Quindell said: "With the changes to legislation within the UK insurance industry now fast approaching, our solutions and services based proposition of maintaining income and competitive advantage for our insurance clients and reducing costs for the overall insurance market is proving to be highly attractive.

Our combined model and diversified offering means we can still operate profitably within the scope of the new proposals whilst supporting lowering the cost of claims for the industry as a whole."
