Our Mission, Vision and Values

Our Mission - Is to protect our Members financially.

Our Vision - Is to be a trusted provider of financial health protection insurance in the UK.

We have been in existence since 1890 and firmly believe in acting prudently and dealing with our Members in a transparent way. We continually review everything we do in the light of experience. As a Member owned business we believe that not everything revolves around being the biggest financially or selling more business than anyone else but, about being able to deal with Members responsibly, with honesty and integrity.
