Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc., a property and casualty specialty insurance company, has adopted Skyward Group as the unifying brand for the holding company following the successful completion of its acquisition of Apollo Group Holdings Limited, a Lloyd’s specialty insurance company.
On September 3, 2025, Skyward Specialty entered into a definitive agreement with Alchemy, management, employees and other strategic investors to acquire 100% of Apollo for a total consideration of $555 million.
In December 2025, Skyward Specialty received the required regulatory and minority shareholder approvals for the acquisition, and the transaction closed on January 1, 2026.
Skyward Specialty and Apollo will continue to operate as Skyward Group market-facing brands.
“Skyward Group will not replace Skyward Specialty and Apollo, two of our highly respected and highly recognized brands,” said Andrew Robinson, Chairman and CEO of Skyward Group.
“We have intentionally retained the personalities of Skyward Specialty and Apollo as they have each earned a reputation for excellence in their respective markets. The brands have deep credibility and reflect unique cultures that attract top talent and build strong, lasting relationships with our trade partners and customers. Likewise, each brand has a culture of innovation and a reputation for challenging convention and pursuing creative, differentiated solutions and service.”
Robinson continued, “Skyward Group honors this legacy and preserves the value and equity each organization has built while providing a platform to communicate our organization’s unified vision and strategy to investors, distribution partners and other key stakeholders.”
