Robert Gasparini, Chief Executive Officer said,
The results for the six months to 30 June 2001 reflect the benefits of extensive restructuring during 2000 and tight management control throughout the period. They demonstrate that Chubb is based on a sound operational platform from which to pursue its strategic objective of developing a leadership position in the security services market.
