It is incorrect to suggest that CGNU stood for anything.

Although CGU stood for Commercial and General Union (following the merger of Commercial Union and General Accident) the CGNU name never had a meaning.

I'm pretty sure CGNU stands for Crazy Go Nuts Univesity... Makgraf 05:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


I will fill in more information about the companies in different countries shortly Kneale 04:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


I've worked for this company (originally with General Accident) since 1997 and can confirm that CGNU never had a meaning. However, CGU never had a meaning either ( it didn't stand for Commercial and General Union). Neither were acronyms, they were the names given to the Holding company. Policies were still issued by seperate companies trading under seperate names (i.e. General Accident and Commercial Union) dependent on which contract a policy was originally taken under (which was specified on the policy wording, motor certificate etc.). This all changed following the merger with Norwich Union
