Next month, Martin Reith will mark 40 years in the London Market. As he approaches this significant milestone, we sat down with him to discuss his journey into the industry, his most notable achievements, his decision to become Chairman of Artificial Labs, and his thoughts on the challenges of modernising the London Market. We also explored his strong advocacy for algorithms and the advice he has for the next generation of industry leaders.

Key talking points:

  • Starting 40 years ago
  • Founding Ascot Underwriting and receiving backing from AIG 
  • What has gone well in the Lloyd’s Market and what can be improved?
  • Is there a good time to invest in technology
  • Smart Follow - a term often misunderstood
  • The world of algorithms
  • Martin’s advice for anyone thinking about entering the Marketplace
  • The London Market - it works on people
