There are many different external organisations – Companies, Syndicates, Managing Agents, Regulatory Bodies and Industry Groups – with whom we interact and have a relationship.
We could not operate – legally or at all – without some of these organisations. Others are available as a source of information and/or legislative guidance. These organisations are useful, helping to further our knowledge and expand industry awareness.
