The highly sought after wins across both categories is testament to Sheldon’s leadership and the team’s unwavering commitment to operational excellence.
London, 6 March 2026 – Canopius is pleased to announce it has won InsuranceERM’s Risk Team of the Year award, with Sheldon Lacy also winning the award for Chief Risk Officer of the Year at last night’s UK & Europe Awards ceremony.
Canopius Group has grown exponentially in recent years. This would not have been possible without the fundamental role the risk team has played in creating a culture of trust, proactivity and transparency while embedding itself into the heart of the business.
Risk reporting and employee engagement is at an all-time high at Canopius following the development of an intranet system which allows teams from across the global business to report concerns with just the click of a button. Under Sheldon’s leadership the team has worked to remove excessive silos to enhance data sharing between Canopius’ internal and client-facing functions and position itself as an enabler of strategic growth.
Commenting on the award wins, Sheldon Lacy, CRO, said: “This recognition is a really proud moment for me and the business. The team has worked incredibly hard over the last few years, going out of their way to provide the support that our underwriters need to best serve our brokers and insureds. We always look for a way to say yes to a risk, it is just about mitigating it as much as possible – the Team of the Year award symbolises how this approach enables us to stand out in the industry all while fostering a zero-blame and personable culture.”
