In 2023, our ambition remains to support entrepreneurs and owners of brokers and IFAs. Help them grow their businesses by providing technology, data, and products that enable them to serve their SMB customers more efficiently and profitably, where and when their customers want to interact.
We continue to challenge the Financial Services industry, a slow adopter of technology which is both arbitrary and unbalanced.

The company’s phenomenal growth in 2022, in the current difficult economic climate, showcases that Stubben Edge has enormous growth potential. We believe that Lloyd’s and the insurance industry generally are ripe for disruption and reform and that Chris Kenning and the team at Stubben Edge are well-positioned with their strategy and products to take full advantage of the opportunity in 2023. We’re excited to see them execute their ambitious plans and look forward to continuing to work with them on their journey.”
