Stephen Hester, RSA Group Chief Executive said: “This disposal represents further progress against our aim of tightening the strategic focus of the Group, and brings to around £540m the announced sales since our new strategy and action plan was unveiled in February.

Tax advisor:
Noraxis is a sizeable brokerage business and unique in that context within the Group. RSA’s core strength is in providing, as principal, the best Personal and Commercial insurance products to our customers, and that is where our focus will continue to be as we deliver on our new strategy and action plan.
“We are proud of the work that has been done to successfully build Noraxis, however, now is the right time for RSA to realise its investment. We will continue to evaluate further non-core disposals, some of which we expect to agree during 2014.” LM
