Rokstone Expands into Dubai: We Are Open for Business

We are thrilled to announce that Rokstone is officially open for business in the UAE, having recently secured our regulatory licence from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the independent regulator for business conducted within or from Dubai International Financial Centre Authority (DIFC).
This is a major milestone in our strategic growth and means we are proudly positioned at the heart of the fast growing MENA region.
A New Hub for Specialty Risk
Rokstone Dubai kicks off with a strong focus on Specialty Risk solutions, including:
Direct and Facultative Property
Construction
Aviation
Marine Cargo
Surety
With the UAE insurance market booming, we are poised to expand our offerings even further, tailoring our solutions to the unique needs of the region as the market dynamics evolve.
Backed by our long standing relationships with A-rated capacity partners, Rokstone Dubai will capture regional business that hasn’t yet flowed to London, bringing our expertise directly to local brokers and carriers.
There is currently a team of seven in the new office, with plans to expand headcount significantly in the coming months.
Positioned for Growth
James Potter, Rokstone CEO, looks forward to expanding the Rokstone MGA model to the MENA region. He said,
"Dubai and the DIFC are a growing and thriving regional hub which opens up new distribution to regional markets. With its current favourable economic policy, high level of investment and demand for high quality reinsurance underwriting, Dubai is well suited to an established yet nimble MGA like Rokstone."
James Potter, Rokstone CEO
Confident that Rokstone will find its place in the market thanks to the Rokstone specialist knowledge and use of technology, James concluded,
“Our disciplined approach means we have a lot to offer both brokers and carriers operating in the region.”
With this new chapter, we are excited to offer world-class insurance solutions to another region. Rokstone Dubai is here, and we are ready to grow alongside you.
Stay tuned for more updates as we venture into our new chapter.
