Today’s guest is returning after a very busy couple of years during which he has re-shaped, re-branded and now floated the business he runs on the public markets.
Andrew Robinson came to this meeting fresh from presenting Skyward Specialty Insurance Group’s maiden results.
Perhaps understandably Andrew was buzzing with energy, insight and good humour in this encounter and our conversation is at times breathless and interspersed by his characteristic directness.
Here we examine in a lot of detail the prospects for the US E&S markets in the light of the major re-set at the last Reinsurance renewal as well as Skyward’s ongoing strategies and growth plans within them.
We also set the insurance world to rights. I certainly enjoyed our talk.
This podcast will run by very quickly and will give you a very good feel for where Skyward and the wider market is heading in 2023 and beyond.
