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.
