Verlingue London Markets Europe consolidates Verlingue’s European ambitions by becoming a Lloyd’s Broker
Verlingue is delighted to announce that it has officially obtained the prestigious Lloyd’s Broker accreditation for its parent company, Verlingue SAS.
The accreditation of Verlingue London Markets Europe complements those already held by the group through its subsidiaries Eyssautier-Verlingue and Verlingue London Markets in the UK, and will enable it to place risks at Lloyd’s for all its clients located in the European Union and Switzerland, as well as for its broker partners.
Verlingue thus joins a select circle of intermediaries with direct access to the Lloyd’s market, reputed to be the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance centre, whose financial solidity, capacity for innovation and underwriting expertise are recognised worldwide.
In addition to its long-standing close relationships with local insurers, this new status will enable Verlingue to offer its corporate clients of all sizes more varied and innovative insurance solutions, particularly in the area of sensitive and complex risks.
Verlingue will leverage the expertise of its Verlingue London Markets subsidiary under the leadership of Barry Reynolds, who has over thirty years’ experience in the London market.
Barry Reynolds, Executive Director of Verlingue London Markets, said:
“This accreditation is the culmination of over six months of work during which we have rebuilt, reshaped and relaunched our service offering on the London market. This latest expansion is hugely exciting and allows us to significantly expand our European capabilities for our clients and broker partners with the ambition of becoming the leading European Lloyd’s broker in London.”
Sébastien Lenne, P&C Director at Verlingue, said:
“Although we already have access to the Lloyd’s market via our UK subsidiary, this new accreditation marks an important turning point in our development strategy and is a real recognition of our expertise. The London market offers new opportunities and now enables us to offer our clients and partners direct access to unique insurance and reinsurance capabilities for all types of non-life risks, wherever they operate. In a world that is becoming increasingly complex and sensitive to new threats, Lloyd’s resilience and capacity for innovation are undoubtedly an asset in achieving our ambition of becoming Europe’s leading family-owned insurance broker.”
