This strategic change marks a significant milestone in the company’s evolution and reflects its alignment with the globally recognised Berkley brand.

R. Berkley Corporation.

Rob Berkley, President and CEO of W. R, Berkley Corporation said: “The London market is one of the most important in the industry and we have been a proud participant within it for decades. The rebrand of W/R/B Underwriting to Berkley Specialty London fully encapsulates our efforts, commitment and our value proposition in the London market.”

While the trading name is changing, the core of the business remains the same. Clients will continue to work with the same trusted team, benefit from the same tailored solutions, and experience the same high standards of service as always.
