Why Chaucer

An established market leading Insurer, where over the past 5 years, the Chaucer Group has seen significant and successful growth. In 2019, we wrote $1.4bn of Gross Written Premium, closed 2023 with $2.7bn, and are on track to write well over $3bn in 2024.

This is an exciting time for Chaucer; we have the people, the platforms, the expertise and the relationships to continue our recent success. We will remain focussed on the areas where we can provide the most expertise and value to our brokers and clients.

We have no appetite to change this, whilst the market is steadily moving back to 4/1 working days, we are continuing to operate on a much more flexible hybrid basis with Heads of teams working closely with employees to strike a balance of what works best in their area. Our approach has been immensely popular and a successful way of working for the business and all employees at Chaucer.
