Trading Update
The Company has continued to perform strongly as outlined in Gable's final results announcement made on 19 May 2014. Trading performance in the year-to-date has been very strong, as such the Company expects to achieve another year of significant growth across each of our European territories, particularly the UK, France, Scandinavia and Italy.
We are delighted with the progress in the year to date and look forward to reporting on further progress to shareholders later in the year.
New Business
Gable is delighted to announce a new agreement with Precision Underwriting (Ireland) Limited which has a highly respected team writing commercial business across a range of sectors in Eire and Northern Ireland. This represents our tenth new European territory and it is clear that the economic indicators demonstrate an improving market for businesses operating there. Precision works with a large number of supporting brokers and is seeing increasing levels of activity as economics conditions continue to improve.
Gable is also pleased to report a highly dynamic first quarter start to its UK Specialist Surety Bond underwriting arrangement marketed through CHJ Management which continues to show strong growth in the UK market.
We look forward to achieving further growth through our collaborations with both CHJ Management and Precision Underwriting respectively.
The Company expects to announce its half year results for the 6 month period ending 30 June 2014 in September 2014.
