Background

AHJ was founded as a Lloyd’s broking house in 1973 and quickly established itself as a leading broker of marine and other reinsurance business, both from the London market and internationally. The success enabled the founders to build the financial resources of the company, including investment in other (re)insurance businesses.

AHJ is proud of its track record of backing up a competitive broking service with first class accounting and claims units, a tradition which continues today. Our service levels continue to be driven by the requirements of our clients and markets, not by a need to achieve the lowest cost ratio.

Over the past decade AHJ has managed to grow its business substantially. This growth has been achieved organically and by the hiring of high calibre teams and individuals, attracted by the ethos and working culture of AHJ.  Thus, over the past decade, the company has diversified into different areas of marine and non-marine reinsurance such as Aquaculture, International, North American and Specialty – plus specialist insurance.

In 2007 we strengthened our position in the Nordic market with the acquisition of 60% of Nilsen Brokers, an Oslo based broking house with a long history in the area. This gives us a regional platform focused on service delivery to local insurance companies, combined with analytical and marketing support from London.

Today, we are nearly 80 employees with a strategy to expand further as opportunities arise in areas and classes where our unique culture and platform can create value for existing and new business partners.
