Who We Are

Apollo is a specialised independent (re)insurer, established in 2009, to deliver top-tier products and services to clients, brokers, and capital partners at Lloyd's.

Together with Jim Hays, Neil identified an opportunity to create a unique service provider within Lloyd's.

Since its inception, Apollo has significantly broadened its portfolio of insurance solutions. This includes Apollo 1969's traditional and specialty lines, ibott 1971's innovative sharing economy products, and managing agency services at Lloyd's through our Platform Partner Syndicates. Today, Apollo continues to grow with team of over 280 professionals dedicated to fulfilling the company's mission of enabling a resilient and sustainable world.

• Hands-on experience with capital modelling tools such as Tyche, Remetrica, Igloo or similar
• Understanding of Lloyd's capital requirements and lines of business
• Proficiency in programming or data tools such as SQL, R, Python or VBA
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to communicate results to non-actuarial stakeholders
• A proactive, collaborative mindset and a genuine interest in developing both technical and softer business skills
