Clive Witter, managing director, Norwich Union International, said: "We’re particularly pleased with this strong quarter start to the year as it means we have entered a third year of increasing business. For this quarter, we attribute this trend to maintaining with-profit bonus rates at 2004 levels and introducing a new with-profit fund with a built in 5 year money back guarantee. We look forward to building on these results throughout 2005."
