Ways to Work with Us
Broker-facing and time-sensitive, easy and flexible with big possibilities
We understand that you have your preferred ways of doing business, depending on the type, size and complexity of the client you’re working with. That’s why we offer a range of methods for working with us and can write business on our company paper or via our Lloyd’s Syndicate.
If speed and convenience are the aim, a number of our products are available through our own online trading platform, MyTravelers®, with experienced underwriters available to discuss any referrals. Products are also listed on Acturis.
For a more personal touch, or a complex case requiring discussion, get in touch with our underwriting experts directly.
We also have a broad appetite for schemes – both new ideas and existing books.
Brokers
We work exclusively with brokers
Travelers’ UK-based offerings are structured to work exclusively through brokers. All UK Travelers policyholders must have an insurance broker who has an official relationship with Travelers through Travelers Insurance Company Limited, The Syndicate 5000 at Lloyd’s, Travelers Underwriting Agency Limited or Travelers Insurance Designated Activity Company.
If you are a broker/brokerage who would like to become a Travelers partner, we would be happy to discuss contracts. Please contact our Agency Department at agencyad@travelers.com with your location, contact details and FCA number, and they will ask one of our Regional Development Managers to make contact.
If you are a business or sole professional looking for new insurance, start by contacting your current insurance broker and ask for Travelers’ listed covers. If you don’t have a broker, visit our Find a Broker page.

Sector teams
Specialised offerings and dedicated teams
To help you get the right protection, our sector specialists analyse your business, assess its risks and measure its results. While our team has expertise in industries ranging from manufacturing to financial institutions, we also take the time to study your business and understand what makes it unique. The added support of dedicated risk managers and Claims Professionals ensures we protect the property and people critical to your businesses.
Each Travelers product is designed with specific industries in mind, is underwritten individually and can be tailored to specified business risk. Don’t worry if your business doesn’t fit neatly into one of our specialist segments. We’ll get things sorted and, if needed, connect you with our commercial combined covers team, who can write bespoke variations of product offerings.
