Independent Insurance Group plc
 PROFILE
Who insures the London Fire Brigade? Independent Insurance Group. The company focuses on insuring the unusual, targeting such niches as coverage for yachts, classic cars, and specialty commercial lines. The company has made making an underwriting profit one of its cornerstones and works closely with its 2,500 brokers to sell carefully underwritten policies; to achieve this, Independent is willing to sacrifice short term premium income for long term quality. Independent operates in the UK, France, Ireland, and Spain. In an attempt to reduce debt, the company is planning to bring in new investors and raise capital through a share placing; Independent is also cutting its workforce by some 50% (more than 1,000 employees).
