About Coversure Insurance Services

It's now over 30 years since Coversure's Chairman, Mark Coverdale, founded Coversure. His vision was to provide a high quality, good value insurance service to local people across the country through independently franchised offices. Since then Coversure has grown rapidly and the Coversure family now boasts over 90 offices throughout England and Wales.

As Coversure has grown the management team has expanded, bringing fresh expertise that has allowed us to extend our offering to more and more customers. Despite these developments one thing has remained unchanged: our commitment to our founding vision of providing a high quality, good value insurance service to local people. That goal remains at the heart of everything we do, and it always will.
