CEO Neil Robertson on Our Journey
Canopius has been able to deliver attractive underwriting profitability and business growth while undertaking major initiatives including adding substantial capabilities to our business.
“We have a clear vision against which we are executing our strategy – to deliver attractive and sustainable returns as a leading, dynamic international specialty and P&C (re)insurer, growing in areas where we have distinction or competitive advantage. I am pleased to report another year of strong delivery against this vision, and we are now establishing a track record of meeting our underwriting goals, quarter-on-quarter.
“Our 2023 results are a testament to the transformative work the business has undergone over the last two years. Our business leaders have been empowered, our operating models and systems enhanced and the accountability and transparency within our organisation has moved forward at pace.
“We have positioned the business to benefit from the broader industry tailwinds and in 2023 we continued to evolve our business, we materially strengthened our operational capabilities, our underwriting performance, and our structural growth prospects.
“Decisive actions have been taken to accelerate delivery in the last few years and execution against our plans remains of utmost focus. Combined with a still positive overall rating environment, we look forward with confidence to navigating what 2024 brings and further developing our value proposition to drive consistent performance and build on our success and momentum achieved in 2023.”

Our Heritage & Culture
Founded in 2003, Canopius started as a small syndicate transformed by the visionary leadership of Chairman Michael Watson. Through entrepreneurial drive and relentless innovation, we grew to become Lloyd’s of London largest syndicates with a truly global footprint.
Today, under the dynamic guidance of Group CEO Neil Robertson and an innovative Leadership Team, our international business of more than 1000 professionals is organised into three thriving units-all focused on delivering on our promises.
Our agile mindset and commitment to breaking down barriers to innovation continue to propel us forward. At Canopius, our people are our greatest asset, powering our ability to make things happen for our clients and each other.

Our Heritage
In 2003, Canopius was founded. Our Chairman Michael Watson took a small syndicate and turned around its fortunes. With a spirit of entrepreneurialism, Canopius went from strength to strength. We became one of the largest syndicates in Lloyd’s, with a network of offices around the world.
The business has continued to evolve. Led by Group CEO Neil Robertson and a fresh and dynamic Leadership Team, we have become a truly international company of more than 850 people, with three thriving business units that are collectively establishing a track record of
delivering on our promises.
The same spirit and dynamism that shaped Canopius’s early fortunes is still on show two decades later. We are agile, flexible and our people are our power. We want to remove the inertia that holds back innovation. Canopius is ready to make things happen for our clients and each other.
