Hiscox is an international specialist insurer and reinsurer. We provide market leading products and excellent service to individuals and businesses with unusual and often complicated insurance needs. A FTSE 250 company, we can trace our roots to the Lloyd’s market in 1901. We employ over 1,400 highly professional staff, have offices in 11 countries and customers all over the world.
In 2012 the Hiscox Group grew by 8% to £1,565.8 million gross written premiums. Despite the second most expensive storm on record for the industry - Superstorm Sandy, and record flood activity in the UK, Hiscox made a profit of £217.1 million and delivered a return on equity of 16.9%.
We cover reinsurance and insurance risks that range from marine, terrorism, aerospace, technology, media and professional indemnity through to high value personal insurance, such as homes and contents, fine art, luxury motor, and kidnap and ransom, and are market leaders in many of our chosen areas.
We are not a mass producer of insurance policies but focus on key areas of expertise and strength and we do business according to our core values of courage, quality, integrity, excellence and respect.
Internships
As a Hiscox intern you won't spend eight weeks watching others work or standing by the copier. You will spend a stimulating and rewarding summer gaining an understanding of how a modern, international business operates, as well as getting experience of the wider insurance scene.
