Integro

What Integro does

Integro is a US-headquartered insurance brokerage and risk management firm founded in 2005 by Anil Bhat, with corporate operations centered in New York and a headcount in the 501-1,000 range at the parent. Through a series of acquisitions — Doodson Broking Group (2013), Richard Thacker & Company (2014), and Hawkes Bay Holdings and Tyser & Co Ltd (both March 2018) — Integro has assembled a specialty brokerage platform whose largest asset is Tysers Insurance Brokers Limited, a London-based Lloyd's of London broker founded in 1820 that employs over 1,000 people globally. Tysers is now a subsidiary of AUB Group following a 2024 ownership transition.

The combined entity operates four product pillars: wholesale insurance placement into Lloyd's and specialist company markets (political violence, international P&C, management risk including cyber and D&O, marine & aviation, accident & health, North American P&C, and reinsurance); corporate, commercial and SME business insurance; entertainment, media and sports coverage spanning music, film/TV, theatre, contingency, motorsport and esports; and high-net-worth private client insurance covering homes, vehicles, yachts, art and aviation. Underlying delivery is a relationship-led, sales-driven model in which servicing teams negotiate coverage, advocate on claims, and provide risk management advice to a client base trading in 140 countries.

The business earns revenue through commissions and transaction fees on insurance placements. Distribution is primarily direct through broker teams supported by a global office network, with a self-service digital layer via the Tysers Portal. Marketing relies on thought-leadership content, LinkedIn presence, and industry recognition, including British Insurance Awards' Lloyd's and London Market Broking Team of the Year in 2020 and 2021. The firm operates with no disclosed proprietary technology platform and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities; competitive advantage is grounded in Lloyd's broker status, 200 years of brand, and relationship density rather than technology differentiation.
