Starr Syndicate Management Limited FAQs

 

When will the changes take effect?
25 September 2026.

What is changing?
We plan to operate through a single Lloyd’s managing agent. This means that:

  • The existing IQUW Managing Agent, IQUW Syndicate Management Limited will be renamed “Starr Syndicate Management Limited”;
  • Starr Syndicate Management Limited will continue as managing agent of Syndicates 1856 and 218, but will also become managing agent of Syndicate 1919;
  • Starr Managing Agents Limited, the current managing agent of Syndicate 1919 will cease to operate in that role;
  • Where Starr Underwriting Agents Limited historically operated as an agent for underwriting, sales or claims handling on behalf of Starr Managing Agents Limited or Starr International Europe Limited, it will cease to do so and all underwriting will be undertaken directly by Starr Syndicate Management Limited (on the Lloyd’s side) and Starr International Europe Limited (on the company side);
  • The registered company address will be 4th Floor, 30 Fenchurch Avenue, London, EC3M 5AD.

Why are these changes being made?
This change streamlines our legal structure in the UK and simply means we remove the duplication of operating through both the legacy Starr and IQUW managing agents in parallel.

What is happening to Starr Underwriting Agents Limited?
Where Starr Underwriting Agents Limited historically operated as an agent for underwriting, sales or claims handling on behalf of Starr Managing Agents Limited or Starr International Europe Limited, it will cease to do so and all underwriting will be undertaken directly by Starr Syndicate Management Limited (on the Lloyd’s side) and Starr International Europe Limited (on the company side).

What is the new registered company address?
The registered company address of all Starr Group companies in the UK will be 4th Floor, 30 Fenchurch Avenue, London, EC3M 5AD. 8th Floor, 30 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 3BD remains a valid correspondence address.
