Visiting the “Market”

Lloyds is the world’s specialist insurance and reinsurance market.

After two days of great meetings in London, my colleague Ali Hauser kindly organized a visit of Lloyd’s for me. Rachel was a great guide! She explained me that the bell you see on this photo rarely rings. Luckily! Indeed, when it rings once, it means that a tragic event has taken place somewhere in the world: ship has sunk or disappeared for example. When it rings twice however, it means that it is found again! Only the “Head Waiter” has the right to ring the bell.
