Royal London bucks the trend

Royal London 360 says it's beating the economic doom and gloom with a 21 per cent increase in new business last year.

Over the course of 2011, the life company wrote £398 million of new business, well up on 2010's total of £329 million.

Chief executive David Kneeshaw says the last twelve months have seen huge changes, with new products and new territories.

He says investment in technology this year will improve the service provided to advisers and customers.
