Hope yesterday's spring bank holiday was a good one.

A piece of insurance trivia for your inbox: Britain's bank holidays and the modern Lloyd's market were both formalised in the same year. 1871.

Day 2 of #BIBA2026 A reminder that every broker in that hall walks in Edward Lloyd's footsteps.

Lloyd opened in the late 1680s. Sailors, merchants and shipowners walked in with risks. They walked out with cover placed by people who became the world's first 'brokers'.

The British insurance industry played a significant role in the war effort, processing Blitz claims from bombed-out offices, absorbing war-risk losses on convoys, and helping rebuild Britain after 1945.

Insurance is often misunderstood.

But look at history and a different picture emerges. Insurance enabled the Industrial Revolution. It supported explorers and traders. It helped communities rebuild.

That's why the Insurance Museum exists. 🔗 https://t.co/6g92GiegAd
