about us
If you’re looking for a company that has great products and services combined with a social conscience, welcome to Ecclesiastical.
Then....
Ecclesiastical was founded in 1887 by Churchmen, largely to protect churches from the consequences of fire.
And now...
Today we don’t just insure churches. We also specialise in charity insurance, education insurance (from nurseries to universities), heritage insurance and care insurance alongside a range of other general commercial risks.
We provide insurance and financial products and services for individuals, families, groups and organisations that care about their communities and the environments in which they live and work. We’re also a company that donates a significant proportion of our profits to charity.
Outside of these sectors we also have special insurance products for property owners, motorfleet, small business, financial advice and investments. We're committed to bringing you quality products and services with the highest possible standards.
Good service is important to us, that's why we've minimised the frustrations associated with call centres - there are no long wait times, we don't outsource or offshore our customer service teams and speaking to a real person is only one menu choice away. We also encourage our staff to give you as much time and information as you need.
