Who We Are

All the good things in life come with a little risk. We should know.

Back in 1986 when we began, the US liability insurance market was in crisis. Things weren't looking good. Not the best time to start a business, you might think. But at Beazley we see every risk as an opportunity to do things differently.

 

So we took the plunge and started our business, with just a couple of second-hand desks and a handsome old hat stand. 

 

Insurance is about risk, but it’s also about people. 

 

We searched for the Industry's brightest sparks to join us. A diverse bunch, all looking for that rare thing in insurance: an adventure. We certainly found one. 

 

We began putting our heads together to tackle our clients’ biggest challenges. And in a world fast becoming head-scratchingly complex, we set ourselves the goal to become the Industry's go to problem solvers. We've done things differently ever since. In an age of easy assumptions and talking big, we keep an open mind and listen more.

 

Persevering until we've found the right solution. Our quiet and boundless curiosity have seen us embrace all manner of risks: Boldly going further, from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the moon.

 

So that’s our story, in a nutshell. The moral of the tale? Life’s a risky business. But by enabling our clients to explore, create and build a different world, we’re helping to make it a better one. And by striving to do the right thing rather than the easy thing, we’re shaping a brighter future for our people, our partners and the planet.

 

We definitely think that’s a risk worth taking.

Insurance. Just different.

Our vision is to be the highest performing sustainable specialty insurer.

To deliver that, we have built a business that operates around the globe and accross multiple platforms. We are a diversified insurer, underwriting multiple lines of specialty insurance products from aviation and cyber, to directors and officers liability and property risks.

Ambitious for our business, we are focused on long-term sustainable growth that delivers real value to all our stakeholders, fulfilling our purpose of helping them to explore, create and build.

Our difference

Global experience. Local know-how

Integrating global experience with local know-how drives our difference. By combining the knowledge and insight gained from nearly 40 years of transacting business across the globe with local knowledge and acumen, our customers and brokers benefit from the best of both worlds.

Small enough to be agile, big enough to have impact

We combine the speed and responsiveness of a small business with the strength and stability of a FTSE 100 company. Our teams are entrusted with a high degree of autonomy, enabling rapid solutions for brokers and customers across the life cycle of a policy.

Human connection

We firmly believe in the power and importance of human interactions. We leverage technology where it can drive value for our stake-holders but remain committed to engaging with our stake-holders face to face as and when they want.
