AEGIS London moves all underwriters to Whitespace insurance trading platform

As the Lloyd’s insurance market moves to electronic trading during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, managing agency AEGIS London has moved all its underwriters to the Whitespace insurance trading platform.

Whitespace is a digital trading platform for the London insurance market. In 2018, it was recognised by Lloyd’s of London for the purposes of the Electronic Placing Mandate.

The insurer said that its underwriters were able to transact business in all of the classes it writes using the system.

David Croom-Johnson, managing director of AEGIS London, said: “Our aim during this difficult period is to maintain our usual high levels of service. With all our underwriters available through Whitespace, brokers can be assured that they will get a speedy response to requests for quotations.

“Our Opal online quote-and-bind platform is also open for business as usual.”
