(Reuters) – British insurer Direct Line posted a marginal rise in third-quarter gross premiums on Tuesday, as a poor showing at its motor and travel units countered growth in its commercial and roadside assistance services.
The London-listed company, which also offers home and business insurance, said gross written premiums rose 0.7% to 875 million pounds ($1.18 billion) for the three months to September from a year earlier.
