Axis Capital to move London office next to Lloyd’s as it grows UK operations

Axis Capital Holdings is set to relocate its London office to a new skyscraper called The Scalpel in 2018, adjacent to Lloyd’s of London at 52 Lime Street.

Axis has rented two levels in the 36-storey tower with an area of 31,500 sq ft. The Bermuda-based re/insurer which provides specialty lines insurance and treaty reinsurance globally will be among the first tenants in the tower.

“By moving to The Scalpel, we will provide our employees and clients with the benefits of maintaining an office in a world-class facility that is within steps of Lloyd’s of London,” said Mark Gregory, chief executive officer of Axis’ international division.

“This move speaks to the continued growth of Axis Capital’s UK operations and our deep commitment to the London market.”
