LLOYD’S OF LONDON UNDER 30’S STUDY TOUR OF CANADA AND NORTH AMERICA, MAY 6, 2013

In May, the Lloyd’s of London Under 30’s Study Tour of Canada and North America, passed through Canada and the USA on May 5 to May 20, due to the importance of the North American market to Lloyd’s. The trip was comprised of 30 Lloyd’s Representatives from a wide section of the market, being Underwriters and Brokers of varying classes of Non-Marine insurance and reinsurance business, and Lloyd’s. The participants selected on the trip travelled not only as representatives of their individual companies, but also of the Lloyd’s market. The Lloyd’s Non-Marine Under 30s Group was established some 30+ years ago, with the aims and objectives of the group to provide a forum for topical comment and to encourage members to be aware of the many rapidly changing facets of the insurance industry as a whole. As part of their study tour agenda, they attended meetings with clients, conducted site visits and risk inspections as well as attended various lectures. On May 6, the Lloyd’s Under 30 Tour gathered at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto for a presentation by Lloyd’s Canada and several of Lloyd’s service companies, followed by a reception.
