Graham Evans, Executive Vice President and Head of International Insurance, Westfield Specialty, said: “We have worked hard over the last year to consolidate and integrate our underwriting platform into the Westfield brand. For the first time, in 2025, I am excited that we will present a fully aligned ‘Westfield Specialty International’ proposition to the London market.”

We have several new products that are now growing towards maturity, in particular property and professional lines along with additional underwriting and product resource expected to contribute profitable growth opportunities through the second half of 2025 and beyond.”
