44. BIG MARKET: 
German motor insurance market is with 20.5 bn EUR annual premium the biggest in Europe, which allows to grow a profitable business even if only a niche player. 
Overall the market is loss making, but there are quite a few players (just like in the UK market) that are making money on motor alone. BIG MARKET:

46. My colleagues have already presented you the key factors to make a motor insurer successful. The question remains: Why would AdmiralDirekt be successful?  
The German direct market is still in an early stage. To use the advantages of a direct insurer are key: You can ask more pricing relevant questions and change prices more often than a traditional insurer. Already with a limited Marketing budget you can gain significant share of voice in TV advertisement. Through active central claims management you can still gain an advantage of control of claims cost. 
In all this the key is to combine Admiral UKs experience and a team in Germany that knows the German market and shares the enthusiasm of a start up. To find the balance of learning but not blindly copying, to understand the German customers, but also test new products. 
For all this you need the right people. And do we have them. Let me show what the German team has achieved in the last year since launch. 
3 main principles: 
Getting things done
Spend the money just as it was your own
Test, measure, analyse and adjust
Push for high performance in an environment people like to work in, an environment of trust and supporting each other
