“We were deliberate in preserving the individual identities of Skyward Specialty and Apollo, as each has earned an exceptional reputation in its respective market. These brands carry deep credibility and reflect the unique cultures that attract top talent and create strong, and lasting relationships with our trading partners and customers. Equally, each is identified with a culture of innovation and reputation for challenging convention in pursuit of creative, differentiated solutions and service.”
