Capital raising to be used to fund growth in emerging markets

Lloyd’s (re)insurance broker United Insurance Brokers is in the preliminary stages of a capital raising exercise to fund organic growth.

Insurance Times understands the broker, which maintains it is staunchly independent, is currently in talks with potential outside investors.

It is not clear what the investment will be used for but a source said UIB could be looking to fund aggressive growth into emerging markets.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
