Chartered Insurance Broker

We were awarded the prestigious Chartered Insurance Brokers designation by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) in January 2011. With over 93,000 members, the CII is the world's largest professional body dedicated to the insurance, savings and financial services sector. This is the industry's gold standard for insurance brokers and confirms that we have satisfied rigorous qualification criteria by retaining highly-qualified staff who subscribe to the membership conditions of the CII. It also involves a commitment to continuing professional development and adherence to an industry standard Code of Ethics.

When you use a Chartered firm you are dealing with proven professionals. The CII is empowered by the Privy Council to award Chartered status and the award is only made in deserving cases. Whilst Chartered titles are steeped in history, they remain the benchmark of professional excellence and integrity.

Only a select few of the UK's premier insurance broking firms qualify for Chartered status and we are proud to be amongst that number. If you wish to know more about how using a Chartered firm can ensure you get the best possible advice, service and support, please do not hesitate to contact us.
