Lloyd's

Lloyd’s started off in a coffeehouse in the XVII Century, offering insurance to merchants and ship-owners whose businesses were growing rapidly. As new markets emerged, Lloyd’s activities evolved, accompanied by modern technologies and offering new coverages.

Today, Lloyd’s can be found in more than 200 countries and territories right around the world. We insure eight of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and 52 of its largest banks. Our penchant for risks is supported by unequalled underwriting expertise that enables us to cover the whole spectrum of risks from nanotechnology projects to private space missions.
