When former Maersk executive Thomas Thune Andersen joined 254 year old Lloyd’s Register in 2010, he was joining one of the jewels of British business. An icon in the UK’s maritime tradition and history, which has fostered other London gems such as the Baltic Dry Exchange and the old shipping newspaper Lloyd’s List.

Perhaps the most important job for 58-year-old Thomas Thune Andersen has been the matter of breaking with the traditions from back when “Britannia ruled the waves” and turning the company into a modern business and organization in tune with the rest of the industry and society at large, and on equal footing with the rest of the world.
