WHAT WE DO
Miles Smith are a London based broker who provide direct and immediate access to the Lloyd’s and the London Market.
We have a range of highly sophisticated products, many of which are market leading and exclusive, and we are experts in placing risks open market.
Our specialist teams are highly experienced and provide advice and insight into your distressed risks, enabling you to provide enhanced cover for your clients, particularly in areas where standard cover may not suffice.
Our brokers are expert negotiators and fight for the terms and cover your clients need. This gives us the ability to place distressed risks that are rarely in the appetite of composite insurers.
Past
Miles Smith can trace its origins back to 1925.
We have been a Lloyd’s broker since 1936, trading as Anderson & Game Limited. In 1965 we were acquired by RJ Miles and CS Smith, renaming the company to Miles Smith, Anderson and Game Limited, later to be renamed Miles Smith PLC Incorporated.
Since then we have been through a number of changes and had a handful of owners.
In 2018, Pollen Street Capital, a Private Equity company, bought the majority shareholding in the formerly known, Miles Smith Insurance Group.
Pollen Street have continued to make a number of acquisitions and we now form part of Specialist Risk Group.

We have built a reputation for market leading products based on the demands of the industry and fighting for the terms and cover your clients need.
Our experts have fantastic relationships in the Lloyd’s and London market allowing us to negotiate and utilize our partnerships to your benefit.
