Lloyd’s Asia, the Singapore office of the world’s leading specialist insurance market, has been awarded the British Business Award 2007 for Financial and Professional Services.
The award, given by the British Chamber of Commerce to the best British business in Singapore in their nominated category, recognises outstanding UK-linked businesses and their contributions to the local economy.
Lloyd’s Asia was also recognised for its structural innovation; being the only Lloyd’s office outside of London to use the unique underwriting floor of which Lloyd’s is so famous.
Speaking about the award, Simon Wilson, General Manager of Lloyd’s Asia, said:
“The last 18 months have been an exciting time for Lloyd’s in Asia, with the number of Lloyd’s syndicates with a presence in Singapore quadrupling. As the Asian economy grows the platform is in an excellent position to capitalise on opportunities and support the growing market.”
