Carbon Underwriting’s Post

Our Active Underwriter, Rob Crocker, caught up with Global Reinsurance to talk about Carbon’s new Syndicate 5757. Rob outlines the decision to launch a second syndicate, and what its key focus will be. “As our second syndicate at Lloyd’s, it’s not just about expansion - it’s about seizing a unique opportunity within the US programme business market.” He also reveals objectives for the new syndicate in its first year, citing “We’re projecting a strong start for Syndicate 5757, with an anticipated Gross Written Premium (GWP) of £119m in 2025”.
