N Brown punished by insurance regulation

The clothing retailer has suffered another blow to its financial services division
July 26, 2017

Shares in N Brown (BWNG) dropped 8 per cent after the group said it will be forced to take another £35m-£40m exceptional charge in relation to historic customer redress over the selling of general insurance products. The new charges relate to the period between 2006-2014, with the majority of the redress falling between 2006 and 2011.
