Improvements to the coverholder model Prior to July 2010 • No applicant coverholder had been visited by a Lloyd’s representative • No Lloyd’s networking opportunities for coverholders • Restricted access to the Lloyd’s brand • Lack of best practice guidelines • UK Population: 700 coverholders Today • Visited all applicants (ex-City of London) since 2010 - 95% have been approved • Held coverholder conferences • A number of enhancements have already been made - faster turnaround times, branch approvals, broker sponsored approvals, and more informative welcome packs • Greater access to the brand, a coverholder toolkit and enhanced guidelines online. • Monitoring how we compare to the companies market (‘gap’ analysis) and enhancements to the rules on sub-delegation/internet trading • UK Population: 1600 coverholders (‘grand-fathered’ 600 restricted coverholders this year)
