AP Companies, a leading global medical assistance provider, proudly announces the opening of its new office in the City of London. Strategically located in the heart of the world’s premier insurance market, this move underscores AP Companies’ commitment to deepening relationships with existing clients and enhancing accessibility for potential partners across the London insurance sector.
The new office positions AP Companies directly within the epicenter of the Lloyd’s and London company market ecosystem. This proximity to major insurers, reinsurers, and brokers is a deliberate strategic step to enable faster decision-making, foster deeper collaboration, and anticipate the evolving needs of this critical market.
“We recognize that the London macarket is not just a location; it’s a unique community built on relationships, expertise, and face-to-face interaction,” said Natalya Butakova, CEO at AP Companies. “Establishing a permanent presence right here in the City allows us to be significantly closer to our valued clients and the vibrant underwriting community. It enables us to respond faster, collaborate more effectively, and better understand the demands of this highly sophisticated market.”
Beyond geography, the choice of London carries deep strategic significance for AP Companies:
