Ep 56 Like 2001, but completely different: Andrew Brooks CEO Ascot Group

Ascot has been one of Lloyd’s great success stories of the past 2
decades yet its CEO Andrew Brooks doesn’t have the sort of public
profile that one would expect to go with the job. After many
years waiting out the soft market Ascot is now in aggressive
expansion mode backed by a very patient, very deep pool of
capital. Given its cautious and prudent track record its
diversification plans make for fascinating listening,
particularly the thinking behind this historically short-tailed
business’s controlled entry into the casualty world. In our talk
Andrew is engaging and very open and forthcoming about Ascot’s
way of doing things. Anyone looking for pointers on how to build
a successful underwriting operation that is sustainable over the
long term will learn a huge amount over the next half an hour or
so. We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo - enabling
