About the Company

We were founded on a simple principle – to provide protection to people underserved by the home insurance industry.

We specialise in offering insurance to individuals with unique or complex property needs – whether they’re renovating, renting out, travelling frequently, running a home-based business, or living in a listed or otherwise non-standard building. Our smart technology enables customers to obtain instant, online quotes, while our UK-based support teams are available to assist when a human touch is needed.

Our solutions have empowered hundreds of thousands of people to protect their homes and belongings. But we don’t believe in ‘standard’ insurance – we believe every customer deserves cover that reflects their individual situation. By combining intelligent technology with real human support, we make this possible.

Our simple promise? Whoever you are and wherever you live, we've got you covered.

Working With Us

Our customers are diverse, and so is our team. We’re a compact, high-performing group comprising insurance professionals, technologists, data scientists, and customer experience experts from a wide range of industries and backgrounds. Everyone contributes their unique skills and a shared drive to deliver innovative home insurance solutions.

We thrive in a fast-paced environment where change is frequent. At the same time, we understand the importance of balance – which is why we embrace hybrid working. Our teams are trusted to choose the working pattern and location that suits them best, as long as business needs are met. In-person collaboration happens when it makes sense, but day-to-day, our teams have the flexibility to decide how and where they work.

Our positive culture has been independently recognised and certified as a Great Place to Work for five consecutive years.
