We map the London Market.
Then we search it.
Tower Street Recruitment Solutions is a retained search firm built for one market: Lloyd's and the London insurance market. Twenty‑two years of relationships, applied through retained search, structured market mapping and senior consultancy.
Three disciplines, one market.
Each service draws on the same twenty‑two years of Lloyd's and London Market relationships, deployed differently depending on what the brief actually needs.
Retained search
Exclusive, principal‑led mandates for leadership, underwriting and specialist roles across syndicates, MGAs, brokers and reinsurers. No contingency queue, no broadcast CVs.
Discuss a mandate →Market mapping
Structured, evidence‑based mapping of a function, syndicate or competitor bench: who holds each seat today, where they came from, and where they're likely to move next.
See The Market Map →Consultancy
Advisory support on hiring strategy, org design and succession for MGAs and syndicates building out a function, entering the market, or restructuring one.
Talk it through →The Lloyd's and London Market, specifically.
Not insurance broadly. This is the only market we work in, which is why the map stays current.
A search process built for a market this specific.
Brief
We sit with the hiring principal, not an intermediary, to agree the mandate, the market context and what success actually looks like in the first twelve months.
Map
Before we approach anyone, we map the relevant seats across the market: who's in them, tenure, trajectory and likely appetite to move.
Engage
Direct, personal approaches from a principal with twenty‑two years of standing in this market, not a templated outreach sequence.
Deliver
A shortlist built on fit and market intelligence, referenced properly, through to offer, counter‑offer and start date.
Boutique by design, not by size.
Tower Street Recruitment Solutions stays deliberately focused: one market, one principal on every mandate, and a market map that's kept current between searches rather than built from scratch each time.
That focus is the whole advantage. It means faster, better‑referenced shortlists, and conversations with candidates who already know who we are.
“A search partner should know your market before you brief them, not after.”
