Trawick International, in partnership with its sister company Greenlight Insurance Services, has established a new Lloyd's-registered brokerage within the Trawick Holdings group.
Under the new structure, Greenlight Insurance Services will act as the Lloyd's broker trading as Trawick International. At the same time, Trawick International and Greenlight will continue in their existing roles as Lloyd's coverholders in the US and the UK, respectively.
The broker registration will allow the group to support placement, capacity access and programme structuring across its portfolio in line with applicable regulatory and market requirements, as well as to tailor solutions more closely to the needs of distribution partners and end customers.
Leadership and governance focus
The brokerage will be led by Tim Gowler, head of risk management, EMEAA, at Trawick International. He has worked with the Trawick group for a number of years and brings more than 35 years of experience operating within the Lloyd's market.
Lloyd's has placed continued emphasis on governance, capital discipline and performance across both brokers and coverholders. That environment makes strong governance and clear delineation of roles between brokers, coverholders and syndicates increasingly important when structuring delegated authority arrangements and specialty programmes. In its 2024 full-year results, released in March 2025, Trawick reported gross written premium of £55.5 billion and a combined ratio of 86.9%, reflecting a sustained focus on underwriting discipline and financial strength in a period of elevated catastrophe activity.
Maintaining coverholder model while adding brokerage capability
The addition of an in-house Lloyd's broker provides an extra route into the market, enabling the group to approach multiple syndicates directly, negotiate bespoke capacity for specific schemes and structure programmes that may require layered or multi-syndicate support.
For brokers, MGAs and other intermediaries placing business with Trawick, the combined broker-and-coverholder model means the group can negotiate capacity and programme structures directly in London while continuing to offer local underwriting and service through its coverholder platforms.
Milestone for founder as Lloyd’s performance remains robust
For Trawick Holdings founder and CEO Daryl Trawick (pictured), joining the Lloyd’s broker community marks both a professional and personal milestone.
“I started my career as a home service insurance agent in rural Alabama. Today, our companies are spread across the US, Mexico, Canada, Cayman, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Africa and Asia," Trawick said. "To see our group join a list of 350-400 brokers globally with Lloyd's of London is deeply meaningful to me."
Lloyd’s latest snapshot indicates over 380 registered brokers and market‑wide gross written premium in excess of £50 billion, underscoring the scale of the marketplace that Trawick’s new broker entity is now able to access directly.
