Adrian Cox

Beazley CEO

Adrian Cox

Beazley CEO

From the early noughties, when Beazley placed a webcam on the box at Lloyd’s it has built a reputation for innovation and for standing out in a largely conservative, me-too industry. Beazley always has something new going on, such as its recent establishment of an underwriter-less syndicate and being at the forefront of cyber insurance products and services. The business has sought to bring the concepts of innovation and beautiful design to its brand through its sponsorship of the Design Museum in London. It places a strong emphasis on people, culture and values which goes back to the original founders, still today referred to in reverential terms by market participants young and old.

Beazley has built a truly differentiated specialty insurance brand; with the departure of Andrew Horton, its longstanding CEO in 2021, and the appointment of Adrian Cox, the only question now is where next for a business that never fails to surprise?
