Meet the Team

At Ellis David, we’re proud to be a team of experienced general insurance brokers covering both personal and commercial insurance advice and products and pride ourselves on our friendly approach to service.

A truly personal service
Whether a business or personal insurance customer, we take time to understand you and your particular requirements. We have a large and varied customer base. We offer generous discounts to customers who have multiple polices with us – personal, commercial or a combination of both. So no matter whether you are a business owner or an individual, we can – and do – help.

All staff are based in UK
We don’t hide behind call-centre anonymity. We’re available to advise and help by telephone or email, with no automated call systems. Many customers find it easier to deal with us compared to dealing direct with insurers.

We’re experienced
Established in 1972 and we have almost 150 man years combined insurance broking experience between us. We have always been and remain completely independent and privately owned – our allegiance is with the customer, not the insurer.

We know and understand policy wordings and the important differences that distinguish them.

We’re experts
We know the insurance market and where to place risks, for the best cover at the most competitive price. Most of our broking staff have a minimum Cert CII qualification – a well-recognised, industry-specific qualification. We don’t just provide cover but also free, expert advice on all insurance matters. We have long-standing relationships with almost every insurer in the market, meaning we have access to specialist products that you may otherwise struggle to source.

We have excellent pricing
Through our strong relationships with over 200 insurers and our membership of the Marsh Pro Broker network, we have access to excellent pricing for over 1000 products and we are often cheaper than buying direct from the insurer or comparison sites. We will also “go to market” at each renewal to check your premium is still competitive, so you don’t have to waste your time comparing quotes. Just one of the reasons we have a 99% customer retention rate.

We’re on hand at the point where claims need to be managed
We help and advise on any claims, ensuring the best possible chance of a positive and swift resolution.
