Adrian Cox
CEO & Executive Director
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to a packed Beazley 2025 Capital Markets Day. I hope you’re enjoying your new seats.
There’ll be a test later. Hence, the school room feel this afternoon. I’m hoping it will be an informative and useful session for us. So we split it into 2 sections. The first goes into some detail about our business model, how this enables us to produce a consistent financial performance and maximize opportunities across cycle.
And the second, which is the one I think you’re waiting for is where we introduce some of the plans we have for the next 5 years to generate idiosyncratic growth alongside that consistent financial performance. It will demonstrate our ambition to seek better access to risk and increasingly risk that is not directly in the mainstream marketplace and new products of emerging demand, which we believe we have value to add in.
So I’ll take you through the intro to the first section, Barbara will talk through the financial performance and then Paul, the opportunity maximization. We will then have a well-earned break, and then I’ll discuss some of our future plans.
As we’d like to highlight, our focus always is on delivering strong financial results and our track
