Phoenix Assurance and the Development of British Insurance: Volume 2, The Era of the Insurance Giants 1870-1984
Author: Clive TrebilcockPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521254151
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1100
Book Description
This is the second and final volume of the business history of one of the UK's oldest and largest insurance offices, based upon probably the best archive in the business. This volume covers the period from 1870 to the absorption of the Phoenix by Sun Alliance (now Royal and Sun Alliance) in 1984. The Phoenix papers are used to analyse the triumphs and trials, not only of a single insurance venture, but of an entire financial sector in a notably turbulent century. Insurance is concerned with the way people drive, the way they retire, or buy their houses, or invest, or educate their children, or go to war. It follows that a major insurance history also throws light on many aspects of modern British social history. As the great composite offices expanded to offer fire, accident, marine, and life insurance across a single 'counter', so they caught within their dealings an increasingly representative slice of British commercial and social life.

The City of London
Author: Ronald C. MichiePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349123226
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
What is the City of London? The term is in everyday use but few are willing to define it. If pressed some will suggest that it means the entire UK financial sector while others point to a particular part of London - the Square Mile. Neither of these definitions is adequate because the City is both greater and less than either finance alone or a physical location. The author demonstrates that it is only by taking a detailed look at the City over the last 100 years that it can be understood.
