Canopius rebrands to become Sompo Canopius

Canopius has rebranded to become Sompo Canopius.

The rebrand follows the acquisition of the specialty re/insurer by Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Insurance in 2014 and its subsequent integration into the Sompo Holdings group.  Sompo Canopius is one of the top ten insurers in the Lloyd's insurance market, writing premiums in excess of £1 billion and also operates through company platforms in Europe and the US, as well as other overseas offices.

“Today is an exciting moment in our story as we adopt a new brand and visual identity that reflect our ownership,” said Stuart Davies, chief executive officer, Sompo Canopius.

“We have the secure backing of Sompo Holdings’ financial strength and global reach.  But that isn’t all.  Sompo Canopius is also packed with talented people; from actuarial to claims to underwriting.  It is these factors together that offer confidence and assurance to our brokers and clients in a changing and volatile world. ”

Sally Coryn, head of corporate development, added: “As Sompo Canopius, we are creating a new identity that will support strong brand recognition across our underwriting portfolio.

“The new brand enables us to articulate the best of our combined values – the strength and history of Sompo Holdings and the specialist knowledge and expertise of Canopius.”
