About Coversure Insurance Services
Coversure was established over 30 years ago with a view to providing a high quality, good value insurance service to local people across the country through independently franchised broking businesses. Since then Coversure has grown rapidly and the Coversure family now boasts over 90 offices throughout England, Wales and Scotland.
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.
