What we do

Our 4,000 committed staff, based across 100 UK offices, gives you and your business access to real product knowledge along with a personal approach to service that can be completely trusted. We offer an unsurpassed range of over 200 general and specialist insurance products for niche markets ranging from holiday homes to private helicopters. We believe we are also the most significant insurance provider to the UK SME market.

How we do it

We have grown dynamically by giving our customers what they want. Our business model is based on creating innovative products combined with great customer service, underpinned by trusted relationships with leading insurers. This is the basis of our "Value Triangle" - a three-way partnership between the customer, the insurer and ourselves.

Environmental policy

It is fashionable for companies to make bold claims about their ‘green’ credentials, and ‘carbon footprint’. We are realistic that, as a group of 100 businesses, we have a wide variety of premises and workplaces right up to our new headquarters in Kent and other newer offices that possess high levels of efficiency and environmental friendliness. Read our environmental policy in full.
