Over 60 years of
trusted expertise.

A broker built on principles.

Portwood Insurance Brokers was founded in 1963, in a very different commercial world. At the time, the UK had yet to adopt decimal currency. Business was conducted in pounds, shillings and pence, inflation was rising, and communication relied on typed letters rather than instant digital exchange.

The UK had not yet joined the European Economic Community, and the idea of the internet was still decades away. In the City, bowler hats remained the norm, and relationships were built face-to-face, not through screens.

It was in this environment that Portwood was established — built on traditional values of trust, expertise, and long-term client relationships.

Over the past six decades, the world has changed dramatically. Markets have evolved, risks have become more complex, and technology has transformed how businesses operate. But while the landscape has shifted, our core principles have remained the same.

Today, Portwood combines over 60 years of experience with a modern, forward-thinking approach to insurance broking. We specialise in placing tailored insurance solutions for businesses, property owners, and professionals who require more than a standard policy.

Our clients rely on us not only to arrange cover, but to provide clear advice, identify risks, and stand alongside them when it matters most — particularly at the point of claim.
