Readhunt, an independent insurance broker serving UK businesses with sector-led advice and tailored cover, has received Lloyd’s of London broker registration.
The accreditation expands the firm’s ability to place customised insurance solutions across a wider range of sectors and marks a meaningful step in its strategic growth.
With Lloyd’s broker registration in place, Readhunt can now access Lloyd’s syndicates directly, work more closely with specialist underwriters, and build bespoke programmes for technically complex or non-standard risks.
The move strengthens the broker’s position in commercial insurance, especially in construction, manufacturing, professional services, and complex property portfolios. These are lines where standard market options often fall short, or drag.
Readhunt said its client-focused and relationship-led approach will stay the same.
The registration broadens access to insurers and market capacity, improving the firm’s existing offer rather than changing its model.
Tony Saunders, managing director of Readhunt, said achieving Lloyd’s broking registration is an important step for the business and, more importantly, for clients.
He said direct access to the Lloyd’s market improves the firm’s ability to negotiate and structure solutions for complex risks while keeping the independent, relationship-driven approach central to Readhunt.

Tom Shipston, chief executive of SRT & Partners, said the milestone reflects continued investment in expertise, governance, and market relationships.
