Why we’re here

Through our collective experience, we’ve observed many of the best and worst practices in the insurance advisory market. We’re here to challenge the status quo and aim to establish a new level of service. We’re combining the best traditions of technical advice and client centricity, with modern thinking and smart use of systems and technology to enhance the client experience and create a dynamic workplace for our team.

Meet our team
Approach

What we believe As a values-driven business, what we believe informs what we do and how we do it.

  • Progressive

    We’re always looking to make improvements and challenge conventional thinking. We encourage and nurture ambition, growth and a can-do attitude.

  • Approachable

    We want people to enjoy working with us. We also strive to make things easy, cutting through the noise and providing advice that’s clear and easy to understand.

  • Collaborative

    We appreciate that the needs of our clients are changing, and we work together to develop bespoke and appropriate programmes that meet their needs.

  • Enabler

    We make things happen. Our insights and expertise, as an expert insurance company, provides the reassurance, security and advice that enable our clients to achieve their business objectives and personal ambitions.

  • It’s no surprise these values spell out PACE, which characterises the energy, dynamism and drive we have within our business.

Our Team

Our diverse backgrounds and range of perspectives enable us to create, innovate and deliver exceptional outcomes.

Our Clients

We actively seek to understand our clients’ challenges, protect their assets and enable their growth and aspirations.

Our Ecosystem

We are a partnership in name and in nature – our ecosystem is a network of introducers, suppliers, and professional practices – to whom we are confident to refer to clients to extend our proposition.

The Partners& Story We’re creating a better way

Our industry has become increasingly commoditised, resulting in diminishing client service and short term profit being prioritised over clients. We’re here to challenge that with a new advisory model that puts people and relationships back at the centre.

Phil Barton, CEO

What makes us different? Our approach is governed by our clients’ problems rather than our internal structure or capabilities. We understand the importance of talent. At the heart of our business is a culture that invests in and rewards the contribution of our team. We view all of our people as “partners”.

  • Our distinctive culture that nurtures partnerships across our clients, our people, and our ecosystem

  • Quality of our team

  • Approach to seamless advice

  • Our mindset – to challenge the status quo

Genuinely, it’s about building something different and everyone being able to contribute.

Natalie Mcclean

HR Director

Chartered Status

Our business believes fundamentally in relationships, investing in our people to provide robust technical advice and optimising technology to deliver our client proposition. We’re proud of our Chartered Status.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We care about the way we operate as a business. That’s why we are committed to giving back to the communities in which we operate, promoting diversity within our business and reducing our impact on the environment. Each of these areas is sponsored by a member of the Executive Team and our activity is celebrated across our business.
