Bretton Woods Success
Bretton Woods (BWI) Successfully Gains Authorisation from the FCA and achieves Lloyd’s Registered Broker status.
BWI has achieved another important milestone in being awarded its independent licence as an FCA authorised broker, and becoming registered as a “Lloyd’s Broker” by Lloyd’s of London. BWI will continue to use its own broker number – BWI 1392
BWI was established more than two years ago and has been trading as an “appointed representative of Prospect insurance Brokers. CEO, Dan Goggin has said, “We are grateful to Prospect for allowing us to operate under their license to date, but it has always been the intention for BWI to develop into a fully independent broking firm. This latest achievement marks a significant milestone in our development. We have been carefully vetted and approved by the FCA which has coincided with our registration by Lloyd’s. We are pleased that they have recognised and rewarded us for the hard work and investments we have made into making sure we provide the very best service to our clients and markets.”
Umron Ahmed, Global Head of Business Development at Lloyd’s has said “Lloyd’s welcomes Bretton Woods International to the market and is delighted that we will be a key business partner. We wish them all the best with developing their business in the Lloyd’s market.”
This latest step allows Bretton Woods to continue to develop and grow whilst providing a truly independent option to our clients for services with Lloyd’s as well as the wider company marketplace.
As a Lloyd’s Broker, BWI has proved itself to be fully compliant with the Lloyd’s minimum standards and so is entitled to enter into terms of business agreements with any Lloyd’s managing agent. Our directors are now also entitled to partake in the governance of Lloyd’s.
