In more than 60 countries around the globe, a single word has come to represent strength, security and excellence in insurance: Lloyd’s.

The Lloyd’s market consistently enjoys impressive security ratings.

The origins of Lloyd’s date back to the late 17th century, when wealthy businessmen calling at Edward Lloyd’s Thames-side coffee shop would take shares in policies. They would sign their names on policy documents, one below the other, giving rise to the term ’underwriters’.

Today, over 60 syndicates — including Cassidy Davis — compete and co-operate to deliver leading-edge solutions and underwriting expertise. The market has the capacity to accept insurance premiums of over £14 billion and underwrites business in over 200 countries and territories around the world.

Lloyd’s remains the world’s leading insurance market.
