Altus opens London headquarters as it looks to grow insurance arm

Altus Consulting has opened a new London headquarters in the Lloyd’s of London building.

Altus is a specialist financial services consultancy that has an insurance division specialising in protection and health, personal lines, commercial lines and specialty markets.

The firm said it was opening a new London office at Lloyd’s as it looks to form a presence “at the heart of the world’s leading insurance market”.

Martyn Evans, chief executive of Altus Consulting, said: “Altus Consulting has been advising insurance clients for almost 20 years and we are delighted to be moving into the prestigious Lloyd’s building.

”Not only is this an amazing location, but Lloyd’s of London’s ESG credentials, employee wellbeing facilities and charitable giving aligns closely with our own values.”

Growth

This comes after Altus, which has over 100 employees, opened a head office in Bath in 2022.

It said that the opening of the new London office ”is another significant milestone following a period of sustained growth”.

”Having recruited significantly in London over the last two years we have outgrown our previous offices,” Evans said.

”We wanted somewhere larger and more appropriate from which to support our London-based financial services customers with their business and technology change.

“With the increase in our work in the specialty insurance sector and the huge transformation that Lloyd’s of London are undergoing through Blueprint Two, this building is a perfect fit for us.”
