Behind the Headlines: Chaucer CEO Richard Milner on building a global brand beyond London

What’s next for one of Lloyd’s largest syndicates as it sets its sights beyond London?

Chaucer is a long-established force in the London market, with its flagship Syndicate 1084 underwriting more than $2bn in business—making it one of the largest at Lloyd’s.
