"What you are trying to do here at Lockton – to extend your global footprint and carry out more business with the high growth economies – mirrors very closely what I believe in for Lloyd's."  

Lockton Global is a partnership of 30 independent brokers who serve the risk management, insurance, and employee benefit needs of multinational clients around the world.

Nelson said his priority for Lloyd's is to maintain its "best of breed" underwriting standards "while ensuring that the application of these standards does not dilute the innovation in the market – which is so fundamental to Lloyd's reputation. For centuries, brokers have come to Lloyd's when they have a new risk which has never been insured before."

The Lloyd's Chairman said, "The market for specialist general insurance worldwide is going to grow at a very significant pace over the next ten to fifteen years – as the emerging growth countries industrialise and commercialise." He said that his goal is to turn Lloyd's from an international hub for specialist insurance and reinsurance, into "the global hub."
