Jeremy Grose, managing director of NorthStandard, attributed the growth in tonnage and revenues to the addition of new and existing members following the merger. 

He noted that this growth outweighed any effects from the rebalancing of tonnage from larger members, demonstrating the benefits of the combined talents and enhanced resilience of scale.

The year-end results are expected to include an underwriting surplus and a combined ratio of less than 100%, with a positive investment return contributing to the club's free reserves.
