Canada is an important territory for Lloyd’s with policyholders insured and reinsured across a variation of business classes. This includes the delegated market which is prominent in Canada, allowing Lloyd’s to utilise local Coverholders and TPAs which form an integral part of the supply chain and the Lloyd’s proposition.

The overseas educational programme in Canada has been designed to provide Lloyd’s market professionals in attendance with an in-depth view and access to a number of local experts to heighten the understanding of a key and growing territory, including;
