Context

The FCA and the FSCS have both announced that Lonsdale Insurance Brokers Limited (“Lonsdale”) has entered liquidation.  Lonsdale is a small, independent Lloyd’s broker.  Having considered the firm’s financial position, the directors concluded that the firm was insolvent, and entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 24 July 2024.  Neil Bennett and Alex Cadwallader of Leonard Curtis were appointed as Joint Liquidators. 

Key points to note and next actions

  • Relevant information is contained on the two web pages hyperlinked above.
  • Insurance intermediaries should check whether they hold a TOBA with Lonsdale (although those who do may well already have been informed about the liquidation) and take any action as appropriate.
