Lloyd’s is a name that’s known and trusted by businesses and financial centres worldwide. We’re seen as a source of expertise and a major force in the global insurance industry. What’s more, we’re consulted on issues that are important to millions of people.
All well and good, you may say, but what exactly is Lloyd’s?
Not the kind of question most employers have to answer, perhaps. After all, if we were a bank, say, or a chemist, you would probably already have a good idea of what we do and how our business works.
Lloyd’s is a little more complex. As we touched on earlier, we are a lynchpin of the insurance industry. However, we’re not an insurance company, but a market. More specifically, we are the world’s leading specialist insurance market.
We have built our reputation on insuring risks that others couldn’t. Risks like terrorism, natural disasters, cyber-liability, political risk, or even space travel. What’s more, our influence extends right across the globe.
So, for once, the word 'unique' is not an exaggeration. In the following pages, we’ll show you why.
