’This launch is an important step in our strategic growth journey,’ says country manager 

Credit insurer Atradius UK has launched a new London-based surety branch, to expand its bonds and guarantees capabilities in support of UK businesses.

The creation of this new division aims to build on the insurer’s existing market position in the UK and further showcase its commitment to delivering risk management solutions for companies of all sizes.

The insurer already has a European surety business, Atradius Surety, which launched in January 2024.

‘Important step’

Marc Cambourakis, country manager, and William Gray, senior surety underwriter, both from Atradius UK, jointly said: “This launch is an important step in our strategic growth journey.

”We have been a trusted partner to UK businesses for many years and by introducing surety services locally, we can now offer a broad range of solutions to support our clients’ ambitions at home and overseas.”

This annoucement follows Atradius revealing in July 2025 that Lloyd’s of London had granted in principle approval for its new syndicate, called Atradius Syndicate 1864, which will focus on trade credit risks for new and existing European clients operating in the financial sector.

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.
