Tradition

Besso is an old Italian family name, steeped in centuries of insurance tradition. The company was originally founded on broking Italian non-marine treaty reinsurance.

Expertise

After a brief period as a subsidiary of one of the major international broking organisations, Besso was re-established in London as an independent company in 1995 following a management buy-out.

Now a fully independent broking house once again, the Company is based in the City with headquarters in the Crescent, between the Minories and Tower Hill.

Following the arrival of specialist teams in the last two years steady growth in our traditional areas, Besso limited now has a staff of just under 300 people. The acquIsition of CBC UK Limited by our parent company, Besso Holdings, compliments our existing business and provides the Group with global capabilities in most classes of Insurance.

Recent areas of expansion include Worldwide Reinsurance (Besso Re), and Captive Management and related products (Risk Solutions).

The reliance placed on face-to-face negotiations for this type of business means that individual broking skills have a vital role to play. Besso has a long-standing policy of attracting the leading specialists across the full range of markets in which we transact business.

The Company prides itself on having not simply the expertise but also the experience - and the market personalities - to recognise and faithfully service the Company's clients' best interests.

Objective

The Company's goal is unequivocal: to offer clients the full breadth and depth of expertise they have the right to expect of a first-class Lloyd's broker - but with the added benefit of the close personal attention that has long been Besso's hallmark.
