Stephen Lewis

Zurich UK general insurance chief executive Steve Lewis has blamed adverse weather conditions for a £15m slump in business operating profit, compared to the nine month stage last year.

The UK operation's BOP currently stands at £57m, while gross written premium at the nine month stage has decreased by 2.2% to £1.27bn as a result of an anticipated dip in personal lines contribution.
