With our expertise and enhanced ability to provide a range of insurance for our clients we are excited about the new opportunities that our direct access to Lloyd’s underwriters brings.”

He added that gaining Lloyds’s registered broker status has been part of a longer term strategic aim of developing the insurance intermediary client offering within the Heritage Group.

“Financial risks clients in particular, in both the UK and offshore jurisdictions, will see immediate benefits from this development both in terms of a wider market offering and a closer Lloyd’s market working relationship” he added.
