The Barbican Insurance Group trades at Lloyd's as Barbican Syndicate 1955, with a stamp capacity for 2010 of £180 million. In addition to Syndicate 1955, the Group includes a non-Lloyd’s Financial Solutions business, underwritten by Barbican Reinsurance Company Limited, based in Guernsey. Barbican Reinsurance Company Ltd provides the Funds at Lloyd’s on behalf of Syndicate 1955.

Also based in Guernsey, Barbican Channel Islands is a domestic underwriting business using our capacity in Lloyd’s to provide commercial insurance solutions for the Channel Islands marketplace.

Barbican Insurance Group is owned in part by the people who run it day-to-day. The members of the Barbican executive team, along with the company’s senior managers, have invested their own money in the business. Adding up to a significant shareholding, there could be no better guarantee of commitment to the company.

Two leading US investment funds are also backers of Barbican Insurance Group. They are as committed as our own people are to the long-term success of the business and see their initial investment as the first wave of support.
