About Us


We are a High Street Insurance broker providing insurance solutions to both individuals and businesses. 

We operate out of a sixteenth century shop on Overton’s busy High Street from where we also provide a range of other business and community services.  The team has been together since 2012, but have a history in the insurance industry going back to the 1980’s.

The keys to our success are:
Our insurance industry knowledge – we can build products and suites of products specifically to meet our clients’ needs
Our attention to detail – we take the time to understand your needs and to match those with the right insurances

Our personal service – no call-centre, no ‘web quotes’ just good objective advice!
