By being domiciled there the value of their intellectual property and “capital surplus” is held in the Bermuda company thus reducing tax liability in the U.K. (amongst other countries).
When he heard Jimmy Carr was doing something similar, using Jersey as his off shore tax base, Cameron said

Chrishti, the Chief Exec, made no secret that he hired Cameron because he opened doors. He “would know every single chief in banking. He would know every single technology executive and many on first name and friendly terms”
