Communications & Marketing Assistant

Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation‑inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data‑driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.

Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes.
