Danny Lopian and Simon Taylor are the driving force behind Reich.



























Danny Lopian joined Reich, as a Partner, in 1986 and quickly identified that there was the need for the business to focus on creating a niche in the Property Investors Insurance market. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to build the company's profile in this important area, with impressive year on year growth. When Danny joined in 1986, the Gross Written Premiums under the control of the Brokerage totalled around £800,000, and the business only employed a handful of staff.
Simon Taylor joined the Partnership in May 2002. Just after 9/11, this was a particularly difficult time for insurance brokers as we were in the midst of the hardest insurance market for decades and busy preparing for authorisation to trade by our new regulator, the Financial Services Authority. Simon, a qualified Chartered Loss Adjuster, was formerly a Board Director of McLarens, at the time the UK's leading firm of Chartered Loss Adjusters. He brought to the Partnership superb relationships at a high level with the UK's leading insurers, coupled with substantial expertise in the claims arena and a specialism in building client programmes.
Danny and Simon gelled immediately, and working closely together have steered the brokerage through the most substantial period of growth in its history, expanding from Gross Written Premiums under the Partners' control of £14m in 2002 to £60m in 2010 – a growth of 328%. The business is now one of the UK's leading specialists in the Property Investors field with an unrivalled reputation, keen attention to service and strong commercial and personal lines capabilities.
