    HISTORY

    In 1993 Limit (London Insurance Market Investment Trust) plc floated on the London Stock Exchange, as a special vehicle investment trust, in syndicates underwriting at Lloyd's Insurance Market. Limit acquired both Bankside Underwriting Agency Limited (BUAL) and Janson Green Limited (JGL) and in 1999 merged them to form a single managing agent, Limit Underwriting Limited (Limit). In 2000, QBE Insurance Group purchased Limit plc and transferred management of their existing syndicates to Limit. Following the merger, in 2003 Limit acquired Ensign Insurance motor business. Since then Limit's business has evolved and has a current £1.12 capacity and services clients through 6 syndicates.
