Global Reinsurance

What Global Reinsurance does

Global Reinsurance (GR) is a specialist B2B trade media publication serving the international (re)insurance industry. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in London, GR delivers news, analysis, interviews, and industry reports through its website (globalreinsurance.com), free email alerts, newsletters, and a fully searchable online archive. Editorial coverage is organized across seven distinct reinsurance regions: Asia Pacific, Bermuda, Europe, Latin America, London, MENA, and North America, allowing the publication to combine global overview with regional insight for a niche professional audience.

The business operates on a free reader-access model, with registration open at no cost to (re)insurance professionals worldwide. Monetization is implicitly driven by advertising, sponsorships, and a portfolio of branded events rather than subscription paywalls. The events franchise includes the Dubai World Insurance Congress (DWIC), DWIC Connect Istanbul, and DWIC Webinars, which extend the brand into physical and digital conference formats targeting the Middle East, Turkey, and the broader global (re)insurance market. Distribution channels include the website, email, LinkedIn (a 4,600+ member 'GR Global Insurance Intelligence' group), and Twitter.

Global Reinsurance is published by Newsquest Media Group Limited, a UK-registered private company (England & Wales, company number 01676637) that operates as a subsidiary of Gannett Company, the US media conglomerate that owns USA Today. The publication sits within Newsquest Specialist Media's Insurance and Risk group alongside sister titles Insurance Times and StrategicRISK. Headcount is in the 51-100 range, and the publication has operated for more than 30 years as a focused niche asset within a larger media portfolio. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
