Real Estate – Lack of mid level/junior underwriter(s) leading to senior underwriter(s) being inundated with administrative work.

Belfast – Greater appetite and be more keen to write new business.

Aberdeen – Quote more - we're still working to understand their appetite.

Birmingham – More flexibility on trades that are willing to write.

Glasgow – Quicker responses to enquiries and pricing.
