Lloyds Agency

The importance of Gibraltar was recognised by the Committee of Lloyd's when, in 1811, the Lloyd's Agency system was established. Among the earliest (39th) appointments made was of James Ross Oxberry as Agent at Gibraltar on the 4th December 1811. After several changes, Smith Imossi & Co. were appointed to the post on 30 January 1884, and this year celebrate the 118 anniversary of our association with Lloyd's.

Not only are surveys held in connection with claims on Lloyd's Policies and Certificates, and claims settled thereon when the policy conditions make suitable provisions, but a similar service is performed for the Institute of London Underwriters, the Comite Central de Assureurs Maritimes de France and many insurance companies worldwide. The company regularly act for the London Salvage Association and an Agency is held for Lloyd's Register of Shipping to care for various classification matters.
