A Legacy of Precision: The Story of ESI London Underwriting Group

Established in 2000 as Executive Strategies Inc, ESI London Underwriting Group has served the staffing, seed, and security industries since 1994. We operate as an elite Lloyd’s of London Coverholder and serve as a C-suite partner in Enterprise Risk Management. By wearing many hats and leveraging our broad capabilities, we provide direct access to the entire world insurance market while delivering highly personalized service. We represent the intersection of historical insurance authority and forward-thinking risk strategy, bridging Old World prestige and the high-velocity needs of modern business leaders.

Our Philosophy and The Four Pillars of ESI

We are never a transactional organization. Instead, we believe in building long-term, continually improving partnerships. When assessing risk, standard providers often stop at the most obvious inquiries. Everybody asks questions one through five. However, we ask questions six through twenty. Therefore, we must know your industry first. From there, we find the absolute best risk strategies for your specific needs.

Our collaborative approach is anchored by our four core pillars:

• Trusted advisors to the industries we serve
• All interests align
• Product follows the process
• Profitable growth through enterprise risk management
