Who we are

We're Policy Expert, a home and motor insurance provider and we're on a mission to shake up the personal insurance industry.

We feel that insurers have under-served customers for too long with confusing policies, expensive renewals, and frustrating claims processes. It is time to put customers first

Since we formed in 2011, we've been using breakthrough thinking and proprietary tech to provide insurance that's clear, fair and great value.

And people like what we do. So much so that we now have well over one million customers, driven by our double-digit growth. We also take great pride in having been the UK's No.1-rated home insurance provider for 9 years.

We have big aspirations. Our 'North Star' is 'To be the most successful insurance disruptor people want to stay with for life'.

As we grow, we plan on continuing to challenge the norms of an insurance industry whose reputation for customer trust is low, where switching between providers is high and insurance cover is often seen as a costly 'grudge purchase'.

We aim to build longer and deeper relationships with our customers and to help them see insurance as being a help, not a hindrance.

Our People
***We have the same passion for our people as we do for our customers.

Why? Because a great business starts with great people, when the team align with company values, they feel more connected. Our Business Values have been designed for our people by our people.
