Chaucer and Indemni new US Cargo proposition to target strategic theft.

Chaucer and Indemni new US Cargo proposition to target strategic theft. Global specialty reinsurance and insurance group Chaucer has partnered with Indemni, a technology-led cargo risk specialist and newly approved Lloyd's coverholder, to launch a specialist US cargo insurance proposition designed to target strategic theft. The new offering will provide cover for US land transit risks across single-trip transit, annual contingent cargo and standalone strategic theft. It integrates specialised coverage with technology-focused risk mitigations, such as driver verification, shipment tracking and enhanced visibility across the logistics chain. The program is led by Chaucer, with Indemni underwriting on its behalf alongside additional capacity from supporting Lloyd's syndicates. "Strategic theft requires a different underwriting approach because the controls surrounding a shipment can materially change the quality of the risk, particularly as theft methods continue to evolve. Indemni's risk management technology enhances driver verification, tracking and visibility throughout the logistics chain providing critical insights and controls that are central to how we assess exposure," Winnie Hartigan, Deputy Underwriter, Marine Specialty, Chaucer, explained. Adding: "By incorporating those controls into the proposition itself, we can take a more informed approach to risk selection while providing insurance protection designed around the way these losses actually occur, and create a stronger framework for preventing, identifying and responding to the strategic theft threat." This product rollout marks a key milestone in their ongoing collaboration, building upon Chaucer's earlier support of Indemni's successful Lloyd's coverholder application. Indemni's technology is designed to support risk management throughout the shipment lifecycle, with verification and tracking controls forming an important part of the underwriting approach to strategic theft. Simon Schnorr, Head of Marine & Energy, Chaucer, said: "Cargo theft is an established marine risk, but the methods being used are becoming increasingly sophisticated and evolving beyond traditional physical theft; with criminals increasingly using fraud, impersonation and manipulation of legitimate freight processes to gain control of shipments. "As those exposures evolve, the insurance market needs to adapt with relevant solutions. Indemni brings a focused approach to a growing challenge for cargo owners and the logistics sector, combining specialist insurance protection with strong risk management. We are pleased to lead the programme and support its launch into the market." Zach En' Wezoh, CEO of Indemni, commented: "We are setting the new standard for freight insurance by linking over-the-road intelligence directly to underwriting. By rewarding verified operational controls with better coverage and pricing, Indemni is building the world's first insurance platform designed to eliminate physical supply chain risks."

Chaucer shortlisted for Progressive D&I Recruitment Award.

Chaucer shortlisted for Progressive D&I Recruitment Award. Chaucer has been shortlisted in the Progressive D&I Recruitment Award category at the upcoming Diversity & Inclusion in Insurance Awards from Insurance Post, recognising its commitment to creating fair, accessible pathways into the insurance industry and attracting talent from the widest range of backgrounds possible. At Chaucer, Chaucer Syndicates Ltd believe that building a truly diverse workforce starts with widening access to opportunity. That's why Chaucer Syndicates Ltd has embedded inclusive practices throughout its recruitment strategy, from the way Chaucer Syndicates Ltd attract and assess candidates to the support Chaucer Syndicates Ltd provide once they join the business. Through partnerships with organisations including SEO London, Blackbullion, iCAN, LINK, the East London Business Alliance (ELBA), Careers Returners, and the London Market Group Chaucer Syndicates Ltd actively engage with candidates from underrepresented and lower-income backgrounds. These partnerships are complemented by its own internships, graduate opportunities, apprenticeships and insight programmes, helping to create meaningful pathways into the industry. Over the last six years alone, Chaucer has welcomed 20 SEO London students through internship and graduate opportunities, with SEO London alumni continuing their careers at Chaucer today. During 2026, Chaucer Syndicates Ltd delivered three dedicated Insight Weeks for students, offering valuable insight into different areas of the business and raising awareness of career pathways within insurance. Reflecting its commitment to widening access, 85% of participants were students who would not typically have access to opportunities in the City of London, let alone the insurance industry. Embedding inclusion throughout recruitment. Creating diverse candidate pipelines is only one part of the process. Chaucer Syndicates Ltd has implemented a range of measures designed to ensure recruitment remains inclusive, transparent and fair at every stage. These include: * Reviewing job descriptions to remove gender-coded language and improve accessibility. * Requiring diverse shortlists for vacancies. * Setting ambitious representation targets Publishing its representation ambitions. * Ensuring hiring managers complete inclusive hiring training to help recognise and mitigate unconscious bias. * Working exclusively with recruitment partners who demonstrate a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. This approach helps ensure Chaucer Syndicates Ltd attract exceptional talent while creating a consistent and inclusive experience for every candidate. Delivering measurable results. Its commitment to inclusive recruitment has translated into tangible outcomes across the business. Since 2023: * Its direct hiring rate has increased from 31.4% to 96%. * Female representation within senior-level hiring activity has increased from 31.4% to 44%. * Chaucer Syndicates Ltd has reached gender parity at C-Suite Level * Chaucer Syndicates Ltd has exceeded Lloyd's 1 in 3 hiring ambition for ethnic minorities * Its disclosure rates across all diversity dimensions have increased by at least 20% These improvements provide greater transparency, stronger insight into its recruitment practices and evidence that its efforts to broaden access are having a meaningful impact. Creating opportunities beyond recruitment. At Chaucer, its focus extends beyond attracting diverse talent. Chaucer Syndicates Ltd is equally committed to ensuring colleagues develop, progress and thrive. Through employee resource groups, inclusive policies and initiatives that support a culture of belonging, Chaucer Syndicates Ltd strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, supported and empowered to reach their full potential. This nomination reflects the dedication of colleagues across the business who continue to champion inclusion, diverse perspectives and help make the insurance industry more accessible to future generations of talent.
