CBL Corporation Ltd (CBL) today confirmed that Brexit is not expected to affect its European business whether Britain votes to exit the European Union or not.

'CBL Insurance DAC, CBL's European insurer is domiciled in Ireland, which is not affected by Britain's decision' said Peter Harris, CEO of CBL, 'and we have already confirmed to our employees at European Insurance Services Ltd (EISL), in Tunbridge Wells UK, who write business in France, that if Britain decides to leave the EU then EISL will remain operating in Tunbridge Wells, and shift its legal domicile, - probably to Ireland'.

'Either way it will be business as usual' said Mr Harris.
