About Beazley
Beazley, one of the leading insurers in the Lloyd’s market, has
been doing business across Europe for more than two decades.
Today we insure a wide variety of European clients ranging from
software companies and healthcare providers (for professional and
management liability), to shipowners (for hull, cargo and liability),
to luxury goods retailers (for property). This booklet is designed
to give you a perspective on the range of products we offer.
In addition to our headquarters in London, we have offices
focusing on various business lines in Paris, reinsurance in Munich,
and energy in Oslo. Our marine team has local offices in the UK
in Ipswich, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds.
We are not a ‘one size fits all’ insurer – we are ready and willing
to craft our cover to meet the precise needs of each client,
working closely with the client’s broker.
We place equal emphasis on claims service and underwriting.
Our claims staff work alongside our underwriters in close teams.
We believe that by understanding the intent behind each policy
our claims staff can deliver a swifter, more supportive service.
The contact details of our underwriters are provided for each
product described in this guide. We look forward to discussing
your insurance needs.

At the foot of each page in this guide is a map
of Europe. Many of our covers are written on
a worldwide basis and are available to clients
in all countries in Europe. For these products
the entire map is coloured dark pink. For those
products that are only available to clients in
particular countries, the relevant countries
are highlighted.
Life, Accident & Health
Our life, accident & health division was established as a business in
2000, formerly operating as Momentum Underwriting Management
Ltd (MUM). Beazley Group acquired MUM in 2008. Two syndicates –
syndicate 3623 focusing on accident and health business; and 3622
dedicated to life business – were established to support the division.
Our principal underwriters and claims staff have an average of 25 years
experience in the business. This extensive experience has provided
us with comprehensive market and product knowledge that underpins
excellent working relationships with clients and brokers. A fully
integrated claims team provides an efficient and professional service.
Our team provides joined up solutions to placing all personal accident
and life covers. For instance, a football team’s disability benefits can
be placed with our sports underwriters, while the coverage for death
from natural causes is placed with our life syndicate. Alternatively,
the crew of an airline might be covered for death from natural causes
by the life syndicate, while accidental death and dismemberment,
temporary total disablement and medical expenses
are covered by the personal accident syndicate.

Reinsurance
Experience and innovation, combined with a focus on long
term relationships, have enabled our reinsurance team to work
successfully with some of the world’s most sophisticated insurance
businesses for over 20 years.
Although market capacity has fluctuated dramatically over the last
25 years as a result of catastrophes and large risk losses, we have
maintained our commitment to our core clients. Around 80%
of our top 20 clients have reinsured with us for 20 years or more.
Our Munich office opened in October 2008 to focus on European
business that does not traditionally come via the wholesale
channels to London.
Our strategy is to manage our business within a long term context
by identifying and reinsuring top quality counter parties. We look
for clients with financial integrity; an intimate knowledge of their
business; and the management systems and underwriting controls
to ensure both their continued success and our long term profitability.
We like to lead business as this enables us to apply our expertise in
claims management and build stronger relationships with our clients.
Specialty treaty
The Beazley specialty treaty team
partners with specialist insurers
of professional and management
liability risks in a collaborative
way with a long term
perspective. We write both
pro rata and excess of loss,

Technology, Media & Business Services
Fast changing industries confront fast changing risks. Our team is
skilled at crafting insurance coverage that helps technology, media
and business services clients seize new opportunities in some of
the most competitive and dynamic markets on earth. Our clients
include a third of the top 25 global software and software services
companies as ranked by Software Magazine.
Insurance isn’t normally expected to work like this. Most insurers
derive their cues from “rear view mirror” underwriting. If past
experience provides little or no indication of how to price a risk,
they won’t underwrite it. That is why the pace of coverage innovation
so often lags the pace of innovation in the industries seeking coverage.
Our approach is different. We seek to understand our clients’ business
models and analyse their attendant exposures. And we look to design
insurance coverage that can be a source of competitive advantage
for our clients.

We have been underwriting directors’ and officers’ (D&O) liability
and employment practices liability (EPL) business for more than
20 years. Privately held companies of all sizes can be the target
of litigation for claims ranging from employment allegations to
fraud and misrepresentation.
Our clients include publicly quoted companies, private companies
and non-profit organisations.

expertise and language capabilities. We underwrite on behalf
