Media centre
Ecclesiastical is a commercial business with a purely charitable purpose – something that is unique in the financial services industry.
For over 135 years, we have been trusted to protect much of the heritage and history in the countries where we operate, from palaces and castles, World Heritage sites, museums, schools and places of worship.
During that time, we’ve grown to become one of the largest independent British-owned insurers. Today we offer much more than just award-winning specialist insurance – we also provide investment management, broking and advisory services with offices worldwide.
