More about Canopius
Canopius Group Limited believes that its people differentiate the company. The group challenges prevailing wisdom, asks difficult questions and is proud to offer an independent view of risk.
Formed through a management buyout in December 2003 with £25m in equity capital, Canopius Group Limited has achieved significant growth through a mix of organic expansion and acquisitions. It is privately owned and backed by private equity funding.
Domiciled in Jersey, Canopius Group Limited operates in Australia, Bermuda, Singapore, the UK, the US, Malaysia (Labuan), and China (through Lloyd’s China). The group's operations are supported by several underwriting platforms, including Canopius Managing Agents Limited, which manages Lloyd's Syndicate 4444, Canopius US Insurance, Inc., a US excess and surplus lines insurance company, and Canopius Reinsurance Limited, a Bermudan class 4 reinsurance company.
The sponsorship
Canopius’s sponsorship will support a wide range of iCAN’s ongoing and newly launched initiatives for 2024. The initiatives include our INspire self-serving mentoring platform and iCANConnect, a safe space for D&I leaders across the insurance industry, as well as our iCAN Apply Jobs Board which aims to give more access for our members to opportunities within the insurance industry.
In addition to these three main initiatives, the sponsorship will support the continuation of the Coffee with the CEO series and a range of virtual and in-person events for the 5,000+ members based in the UK and internationally.
