Yet it feels so, so right.

Unfortunately, like SLL, I work in an industry which aspires to have the moral fortitude of the 'oldest trade in the world'. I too underwrite things, but not motor.

Nationwide aren't an insurer.

I work in commercial insurance, so I don't have to deal with Johnny Riffraff and his piffling home and contents insurance. I also have a code of media relations or some crap to comply with, so naming names is a no-go.

they DO however, do insurance, but it's outsourced and underwritten elsewhere.

So they're not an insurer. Just some two-bit managing agents with the pen but no ink.
