Company history:
From its origins in 1957, EWB has built a global franchise, placing more than $4bn (£2.6bn) in annual premiums in 1998. Although EW Blanch has traditionally been known as a reinsurance intermediary, it has re-aligned its operations to fully meet its customers' needs. It offers a broad range of risk management, distribution and consulting services through a single, integrated enterprise. At the same time, it has expanded its focus to include other areas in risk management bodies, such as Fortune 1000 companies, government entities and financial institutions.

Its network extends around the world with 1,200 employees, providing expertise in risk management and risk distribution.
