It is with a mixture of emotions that we announce the retirement of Jeff Turner, Managing Director of Bspoke Underwriting and Miramar Underwriting Limited. Jeff will be stepping down from his roles within the Bspoke Group at the end of March. We extend our deepest gratitude to Jeff for the contributions he has made to our businesses. While we will miss his guidance and leadership, we wish him a long and enjoyable retirement. In light of this decision, we are making some changes to the leadership structure of Bspoke Underwriting and Miramar Underwriting. These changes are designed to enhance our operational efficiency and ensure the continued focus on underwriting excellence. To this end, we are delighted to welcome Clare Knight to our business. Clare will assume the role of interim Managing Director, leading both the Bspoke Underwriting and Miramar Underwriting teams, particularly bringing her skills to bear on operational aspects of our businesses. Clare is already well-known within the Bspoke Group and has been an integral part of our drive to modernise our onboarding processes through innovative technology. The current teams will be essential in supporting Clare to help ensure that our underwriting capabilities stay strong and adaptable to market needs.

We are delighted to announce the acquisition of the award winning Insurtech, Arma Karma. This is such an exciting addition to the Bspoke Group and we’re thrilled to welcome Ben Smyth, Chris Frogner and the Arma Karma Team to our business. We are confident that, with our infrastructure and expertise, the business can continue to go from strength to strength and scale, while also enhancing our capability and offering as a group. Ryan Gill, Bspoke Group CCO: “Arma Karma is a true disruptor in the insurance industry, filling a gap in the market to meet ever-changing customer needs. Ben and his team have not just built an innovative platform, they’ve tapped into new markets in new ways, harnessing the latest technology and meeting consumer demand for trust and sustainability with their established brand and B Corp certification.” Ben Smyth, founder and CEO of Arma Karma: “Joining forces with Bspoke Group marks a transformative chapter for Arma Karma. This partnership amplifies our mission to deliver flexible, impactful insurance solutions, and together, we’re poised to redefine the customer experience across broader markets. With Bspoke’s extensive resources and shared commitment to innovation and sustainability, we’re ready to unlock new opportunities and take our offering to the next level.” #wearebspoke #acquisition #insurtech #ethicalinsurance #unstoppabletogether

Last week, we had the pleasure of gathering our senior management team in Harrogate for our annual conference. This year's theme, "Unstoppable Together," resonated deeply with us as we navigate the continued growth and evolution in our business. We focused on the core aspects of workplace dynamics—what connection and collaboration really mean – and discussed practical strategies to enhance teamwork and build meaningful working relationships. The conference was a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the strength we gain from collaboration across our Group. We also revisited last year's "Future Ready" theme, exploring the next steps in our transformative AI journey, and the importance of how staying ahead of emerging technologies is essential for our ongoing success. A huge thank you to our session facilitators and to our guest speakers, Sir Jon Murphy, Karen Cummings MSc PG Cert FHEA and Dr Carol Cox, for sharing their invaluable experiences on the importance of cross-departmental collaboration in their extensive policing careers. Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to all our Bspoke Group colleagues whose contributions made this event such a resounding success. Together, we truly are unstoppable! #WeAreBspoke #Leadership #Collaboration #UnstoppableTogether 

Today, we had the privilege of hosting our International Women’s Day 2025 Lunch & Learn session as part of our ongoing commitment to #AccelerateAction. With almost 90 colleagues joining us from across the Bspoke Group, the event was a fantastic opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about gender equality. Led by Justina Stringer, our Group Head of HR, we heard from an inspiring panel of female colleagues who shared their perspectives on the importance of fostering an inclusive culture both at work and in our communities. Some key questions that sparked dialogue included: - How can we be better advocates for gender equality? - How can everyone play a role in closing the gender pay gap? - Is the rise of women about the fall of men? - How can we empower women in our industry? - What does #AccelerateAction mean to you? We’re committed to translating these insights into actionable steps that will help demonstrate the Bspoke Group’s commitment to better equality, inclusivity and eliminating gender bias. Thank you to our panel, Justina Stringer (MCIPD), Deirdre Donovan, Clare Knight, Lynsey McCabe, Kerry McMahon White CMgr MCMI and Wendy Ha, and to all of our Bspoke Group colleagues who participated and contributed to this vital conversation! #WeAreBspoke #IWD2025 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Our CEO, Tim Smyth, recently spoke with Emmanuel Kenning at Insurance Age to discuss how many of the goals since our 2022 reset have been achieved. Our strategic plans for profitability, underwriting profit, central structure to support growth, making the right acquisitions, recruiting teams and becoming a firm people want to join, have all been accomplished. With the full support of our future focussed shareholders, further strategic acquisitions are nearing completion, and the introduction of new products are in plan, making the next step of the Bspoke Groups evolution a very exciting time.
