Introduction
We are a high-performance reinsurance organisation that values expertise, open dialogue, and a shared commitment to delivering for clients and partners.
We believe strong results come from empowered people in an environment that encourages curiosity, constructive challenge, and continuous improvement. That mindset shapes how we underwrite risk, how we partner with brokers and cedants, and how we grow the business with consistency and care.
Our culture isn’t separate from our commercial proposition. It underpins it.
We are guided by the principles of Great Place to Work and Investors in People, reflecting our commitment to trust-led leadership and ongoing development.
WHAT OUR CULTURE LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
We build relationships grounded in trust and mutual respect. We encourage collaboration and the sharing of expertise, strengthening our business and the partnerships we build with clients and brokers. Our people are the driving force behind our results.
The principles that guide us:
We act with responsibility and follow through on commitments. Everyone understands the impact of their work and makes informed decisions within clear frameworks of authority. We encourage autonomy and sound judgement, trusted to deliver with transparency, rigour, and purpose.
Our business is built on the quality of professional judgement. We value expertise backed by analysis, technical knowledge, and a global view of risk. Experience, combined with curiosity and critical thinking, helps us act with precision and consistency in a dynamic market.
Collaboration is central to our identity. We work as one team, creating space for open dialogue and the participation of every voice. We connect regions, specialties, and perspectives to make better decisions and deliver stronger solutions for clients.
We act with a long-term view. We prioritise lasting relationships, sustainable growth, and practices that protect the strength of our business. We invest in our people, robust processes, and decisions that build value for the future.

Hear from our people:
“There’s a strong bias to clarity. Wordings, exposures, aggregates. The goal is predictable performance, not noise.”
– Technical Underwriting
“Governance isn’t a layer on top here. It’s built into how we review risk, set limits, and manage the portfolio through the year.”
– Risk & Portfolio Management
