Involvement and commitment

Ours is very much a ‘hands-on’ style of management, with all five principals directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the business as well as setting and steering Barbican strategy.

 

The executive team, along with Barbican’s senior managers, have invested their own money in the company, adding up to a significant shareholding. There could be no better guarantee of total commitment to the business at all levels; with investment comes close personal attention to growth and success—and a sharp focus on achieving a dynamic balance of disciplined underwriting, innovation and creativity.

 

Our shared purpose is to build an insurance and reinsurance business that is structured around delivering intelligent and responsive underwriting solutions in our chosen specialties. We have attracted a team of experienced underwriters who are dedicated to providing expert risk solutions combined with the very best in customer service. We have a vision of lasting commitment to the market, offering consistency, reliability and value over time.
