Description

Who we are:


Apollo is an independent specialist (re)insurer launched in 2009 to provide high quality products and services to clients, brokers, and capital partners at Lloyd's.

The Apollo name recognised the success of one of its founding investors Neil Armstrong, who in 1969 was the first person to land on the moon.

Along with Jim Hays, Neil saw the opportunity to build a differentiated service provider at Lloyd's.
