Merchants, mariners and mavericks – Lloyd’s Agents, the first 200 years
Year: 2025 Language: English Author: Lee Coppack Genre: Historical Publisher: Times Group Edition: 1st Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 82 Description: Throughout time, every country, every community, every business and every home has needed insurance in one form or another. Society could not function as it does without it.With each new direction taken by trade and industry insurance has adapted to deliver new protections and provide a safe springboard for future development. Despite its value, the nature of insurance has also often been misunderstood. Insurance has always been based on analysis, research and the scientific study of risk. In other words, on information. By 1811, the complexity of the information used by the insurance industry had evolved significantly, but it was the creation of a network of Agents by Lloyd’s that year which profoundly accelerated both the reach and impact of that information. As this book shows, Agents tended to be quite exceptional people. Courageous, curious and often eccentric, their commitment to the role has shaped the culture of Lloyd’s. And perhaps in no area have they made their mark as strongly as in their contribution to ensuring Lloyd’s has always paid all valid claims. Throughout this time, our Agents have directly helped to give Lloyd’s the global presence and brand that it enjoys today. Over the last 200 years, the Lloyd’s community has had a great deal to thank its network of Agents for. Congratulate them on this important anniversary. :
