Towergate was established in 1997 to provide insurance in niche markets ranging from holiday homes to cherished cars. We have expanded and broadened our products range to over 200 - the widest range of specialist and traditional products in the UK market.

 

Towergate is now Europe’s largest independently owned insurance intermediary. 

 

We have over 4,600 committed staff operating out of over 100 UK offices. Towergate’s reputation for innovation, progression and dynamism is backed up by recognition from the Sunday Times as a Profit Track 100 company. Our Executive Chairman, Peter Cullum is a former winner of the ‘UK Entrepreneur of the Year’ award and is the current M&A ‘Deal Maker of the Year’.

 

Our business model enables us to deliver exceptional value to our clients through quality insurance products and services, underpinned by strong relationships with leading insurance companies. We call this our ‘value triangle’ - a three-way partnership.

 

At Towergate we believe that a  company is not just about great business performance, it’s also about having a heart and soul. Working with our colleagues and clients we raise hundreds of thousands a year for the Hospice movement and other great charities. We do it because we are in a position to assist a great number of people who need help, and because it is simply the right thing to do.
