This business is written through Lloyd's brokers, and we work closely with our intermediaries to provide products appropriate to their distribution channels and customer requirements.

Canopius also underwrites engineering reinsurance on both a proportional and excess of loss treaty basis. Other related classes written include marine construction, offshore energy construction and project cargo relating to the construction industry.
