Alpha Insurance was started in 2005 by a number of experienced insurance directors for their own money. In less than ten years, it succeeded in getting about 2 billion. Annual premium income and become one of the country's ten largest companies.
The reason why the company had to throw the towel in the ring was, among other things. A possible milliontab on reinsurance contracts concluded with the New Zealand Financial Group CBL Insurance, which went into receivership.
