Tokio Marine Kiln CEO Charles Franks said: “Luxembourg is an excellent base for us and we are excited about the opportunities this new company presents. Most importantly, this decision ensures it will be business as usual for our customers when the UK leaves the EU, providing them with a stable, long term solution.

“The new company will complement our Lloyd’s platform operation in the EU which will be written through the Lloyd’s European Subsidiary in Brussels. Access to these two platforms will allow us to maintain our commitment to our clients and our innovative approach to product development in Europe.”
