The bowler hat is a symbol of Beazley’s founding spirit – humble, quirky and full of ambition.

It began with two desks, a second-hand hat stand in a modest office and just two lines of insurance. Since then, we’ve built 80 years of know-how and trust, going from London after insurer to global specialty carrier.

And our coverage goes deeper and wider than you might imagine – everything from the everyday to the extraordinary.

Did you spot our ads at a London tube station?

After donning our hat across North America to share coffee and connections with brokers, the bowler is back to the city it all began – celebrating our roots, our reach, and the bold spirit that still drives us forward. 

Read on to discover some of the many hats we wear as we work to dial back your risk, and boost your resilience.

We’re not just specialists – we’re multi-specialists.

Evolving risks

We live in an era of accelerating risk:​ from cyber threats and tech transformation to climate risk and geopolitical instability.​ It’s a complex landscape, full of unexpected twists and turns.​ But the world has always been risky. Bold ideas often come with risk, risk that we can help shoulder.

It's not what we do, but how we do it, that drives our difference. Curious?
