BEAZLEY DIGITAL
Head of technology James Wright introduces Beazley Group ’ s brand-new dedicated digital division and the future of digital , specialist insurance
Innovation and technological advancement have been at the heart of the Beazley Group since it was established in 1986 . The specialist insurer has always remained close to the rapidly evolving industries it serves , with a client base that is highly diverse , in size , industry and geography , and leaders in their field . For more than three decades the group has experienced consistent growth , writing close to US $ 4bn of premiums in 2021 , and with greater ambitions for the year ahead .
But as the world is changing , so is Beazley . In January 2022 the group launched a new division to elevate its digital capabilities and lead from the forefront of accessible , always-on insurance , rather than react to the demands of clients and trends in the sector . Beazley Digital is helmed by James Wright , an insurance veteran who joined the firm in 2004 and has held a variety of roles in the intervening 17 years . His latest charge as Head of Technology will see him grapple with new challenges , but also seize new opportunities .
