Bissell & Partners places reinsurance into Lloyd’s and the London Market on behalf of cedents — insurers, MGAs and coverholders looking to structure and place their outward reinsurance. From single-risk facultative placements to structured treaty programmes and retrocession, we build submissions the way reinsurers want to receive them and take them to the markets most likely to support them.
Reinsurance solutions we place
Facultative Reinsurance
Single-risk placements for individual exposures that fall outside a cedent’s treaty, need additional capacity, or carry characteristics the treaty market prefers to underwrite on their own merits.
Treaty Reinsurance
Proportional and non-proportional treaty structures — quota share, surplus, and excess-of-loss — arranged to protect a cedent’s portfolio and support their underwriting appetite.
Retrocession
Retrocessional cover for reinsurers and larger cedents seeking to manage their own aggregate exposures and free up capacity.

Who we work with
We act for cedents — insurers, MGAs and coverholders — who need a dependable route into Lloyd’s and the London Market for their reinsurance. Much of the business we handle originates outside the UK, across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the Nordics and the MENA region. Your relationships remain entirely yours; we simply give you direct access to London reinsurance capacity, backed by people who understand how to structure and place it.
