Search Menu Shaping the future of the Lloyd’s Underwriting Room Home About Lloyd's Future of the Underwriting Room Through our digitalisation strategy, we are transforming into the most technologically advanced marketplace in the world. As our ways of working change we are on a once-in-a-generation journey to redesign the iconic Underwriting Room and supporting spaces in the Lloyd’s building. The decision to undertake this journey has been driven by the increasing trends of flexible working and digitalisation, which have been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
