About us
Our journey so far…
Established in 2001, Redwood Business Insurance Services Ltd is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of expertise, honesty and integrity. When the business was originally set up, our mission was to provide commercial insurance for local businesses. We have since evolved into a business that is able to offer a comprehensive range of insurance solutions for businesses and individual. Whilst we have a strong local presence, we provide services throughout the UK.
Our reputation for delivering a first-class service, paired with competitive premiums, has solidified our presence in the insurance marketplace. Operating from our Essex-based office we have a highly experienced broking team who are able to provide our clients with cost effective insurance solutions.
As a well-respected member of Bravo Networks, the premier network of independent insurance brokers, we ensure reliability and trust in every client interaction. One of the significant benefits of being part of the Bravo Network is the level of Compliance Support they provide that ensures we meet the exacting standards required of a Firm that is directly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority
As part of Bravo Networks, we are able to gain an advantage over our competitors with access to all of the leading insurers including Lloyds of London.
