Assembly Committee holds useful meeting with Administrator for Quinn Insurance

The Northern Ireland Assembly Committee for Enterprise, Trade and Investment, today met with the Administrator for Quinn Insurance Ltd to discuss the future of the business.

Chair of the Committee, Alban Maginness MLA said, “We took the opportunity today to stress the importance of opening up the profitable aspects of the Quinn business in Northern Ireland and the UK as soon as possible. Following today’s productive conversation we are hopeful this will happen in the near future.

He added, “While the possibility of any staff redundancies was not discussed, we need to agree the importance of staff being the first to know any specifics on the future of the Quinn business. We will continue to keep in touch with the Administrators and Quinn employee representatives and offer our assistance and support wherever we can.”
