Why Chaucer

An established market-leading Insurer, where over the past 5 years, the Chaucer Group has seen significant and successful growth. In 2019, we wrote $1.4bn of Gross Written Premium, closed 2023 with $2.7bn, and are on track to write well over $3bn in 2024.

This is an exciting time for Chaucer; we have the people, the platforms, the expertise, and the relationships to continue our recent success. We will remain focused on the areas where we can provide the most expertise and value to our brokers and clients.

Chaucer is committed to diversity and actively values difference and respects people regardless of the protected characteristics which are outlined in the Equality Act 2010 (UK legislation) as a result of the Equal Treatment Directive 2006 (EU legislation).

A diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace are core to our success as a business and integral to our winning strategy and culture.
