A growth company
In 1984, Catlin Underwriting Agencies Limited was established at Lloyd’s of London, and the following year the group launched underwriting operations with a premium capacity of $10 million (USD). In 2009, Catlin wrote $3.7 billion in premiums.
That’s over 25 years of steady, successful performance. Starting from a single ‘box’ (desk) at Lloyd’s, Catlin has grown to operate a worldwide network of offices. Today, our UK Syndicate – Syndicate 2003 – is the largest at Lloyd’s, based on gross premiums written.
How has Catlin maintained its growth, even in years when the insurance industry has faced many challenges?
The answer is simple: our commitment to core values has attracted outstanding people, who deliver exceptional service, earning Catlin an impeccable reputation.
Industry leadership
The Gracechurch Claims Performance Monitor – a London broker survey which measures the perceived service levels and market reputation of insurers – has consistently ranked Catlin as a top performer. In 2011, we achieved a first place for the 3rd consecutive year. Brokers participating in the Gracechurch survey use words such as “professional,” “efficient,” “helpful,” “knowledgeable,” and “fair” to describe our claims service and we often receive excellent feedback and recognition from clients.
In addition to a reputation for superior client service, we are widely respected for our disciplined approach to underwriting, our highly diversified product offerings, and our exemplary financial strength. With consistently high ratings from analysts like A.M. Best, Catlin is recognised as one of the most reliable companies in the insurance industry.
Growing together
Like our clients, Catlin people also benefit from the company’s combination of established strength and expanding energy. Catlin’s entrepreneurial business approach offers its people the opportunity to direct and grow their own careers, with the support of a thriving, caring company.
Shared growth is a key component of Catlin’s success—so it’s no surprise that talented, dynamic people are joining the Catlin team in locations throughout the world. Our workforce grew by 14 per cent in 2011.
