Rare honour given to retiring Rolf Tolle for restoring image

Lloyd's has given its franchise performance director Rolf Tolle a silver medal for his services to the market over the past seven years.

Lloyd's Chairman, Lord Levene presented the Silver Medal for Services to Lloyd's to Tolle at a special dinner last night in Lloyd's Adam Room to mark his retirement.

The medal is in recognition of the role that Tolle has played in establishing a new commercial partnership with the market and helping to restore its profitability.

Restoring Lloyd’s image

Lord Levene said: "Rolf has played a crucial role in restoring Lloyd's image and re-establishing its reputation as the world's leading specialist insurance market over the last seven years.

“His focus on standards and underwriting discipline has helped ensure that the market has returned to financial strength and stability."

The first silver medal was awarded in 1917 and since then only a handful of Lloyd's staff and members have received one.
