Apollo Joins With WNS on Syndicates

The word from Apollo, the innovative integrated insurance group, who recently announced a long-term strategic partnership with WNS, a digital-led business transformation and services partner.

WNS provides Apollo with bespoke innovative solutions leveraging technology, data, and domain-focused resources in support of Apollo’s third-party syndicate partnership business.

The collaboration’s new “Fast Start” solution enables Apollo to establish new Lloyd’s syndicates quickly and efficiently, providing an IT and data architecture that is bespoke to the needs of the syndicate partner.  Once established, Apollo and its syndicate partners have access to WNS’s skilled global talent, thereby proving a solution that is both scalable and flexible.

The Fast Start solution was previously implemented for both Africa Specialty Risk and NormanMax, two of Apollo’s 2024 cohort of new syndicates; and is ready to be deployed for further new syndicate partnerships immediately.

Andrew Gray, Syndicate Partnerships Director at Apollo, said, “Our syndicate partners choose Apollo because they want to work with an underwriting business that understands what it takes to be successful at Lloyd’s.  Our partnership with WNS means that they can also now benefit from WNS’s market leading technology and data solutions, in addition to their depth of skilled London Market resource. These two elements combined make Apollo’s syndicate partnership offering truly unique at Lloyd’s and the natural choice for innovative businesses looking to create a successful syndicate at Lloyd’s.”

“WNS’s Lloyd’s of London expertise, coupled with our advanced technology and analytics capabilities, has enabled us to enter into this relationship with Apollo to deliver end-to-end setup and managed services for new syndicates. WNS looks forward to working with Apollo to enhance and streamline operations, deliver data-led actionable insights, enable superior customer experiences, and ensure regulatory compliance for its syndicate clients,” said Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS.
