Brit Group Holdings Limited

Brit Group Holdings Limited is a leading global specialty insurance and reinsurance company headquartered in London's prestigious Leadenhall Building, specializing in underwriting complex and large-scale risks for international brokers and clients. Originally founded in 1995 as Benfield & Rea Investment Trust, the company evolved through strategic acquisitions, acquiring Stewart Syndicates Limited in 1996 and Wren PLC in 1999, before relisting as Brit Insurance Holdings PLC. Operating primarily through Lloyd's of London Syndicates 2987 and 2988, Brit maintains one of the largest and most diverse portfolios at Lloyd's, underwritten with solid financial ratings including A (Excellent) from A.M. Best, AA- (Very Strong) from Fitch, and A+ (Strong) from Standard & Poor's. The company provides comprehensive specialty insurance and reinsurance products across accident and health, aviation and space, marine, legal, contingency, property, casualty, and transportation sectors, serving clients across Europe, North America, Asia, and through offices in Bermuda, Chicago, Gibraltar, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Following a series of ownership changes including acquisition by Apollo Management and CVC Capital Partners for £888 million in 2010, an IPO in March 2014, and subsequent acquisition by Canadian financial services giant Fairfax Financial Holdings for $1.88 billion in May 2015, Brit has established a strong and stable foundation for long-term growth. With approximately 910 employees globally and operations spanning multiple continents, Brit continues to build its reputation as an influential presence at Lloyd's while maintaining flexibility and agility in the evolving specialty insurance marketplace under the strategic leadership of group CEO appointed in October 2022.
