The Exeter
We're an award- winning, mutual insurer providing health insurance, income protection and life insurance.
1. You’re more than a customer, you’re a member
When you take out a policy with The Exeter you automatically become a member. And that membership represents a commitment from our board that every decision we make will always be in your best interests. In short, you’ll never play second fiddle to shareholders because we don’t have any.
2. We put people before profit
Like any business we strive to make profit. But it’s what we do with it that’s important. As we’ve said before we don’t pay dividends like big insurers, instead, we use our profits to improve the quality of our policies, keep premiums affordable, pay claims quickly and ensure our service is second to none.
3. Our measure of success is paying claims
We always set out the terms of our polices in black and white. In the rare event a claim falls into a grey area, that might see other insurers shaking their heads – we pay out. Like you, our reputation means everything to us. Knowing we pay out means everything to our customers.
4. We’re always right on the money
With any financial product, you want to know you’re getting a good deal. At The Exeter, we regularly benchmark all our products against the market, checking our benefits and our price. So you are guaranteed to get quality cover at a fair price.
5. We do more to cover more people
We don’t pick and choose the people we cover based on computer algorithms or sweet-spot demographics. We consider every application on its merits – so we’ll often say yes, when other insurers might say no.
6. We take care of you personally
We have real people on-hand to answer calls when you need to talk to us. What’s more, they sit a stone’s throw from our management team. So if an issue needs escalating, we can take care of it there and then.

Royal London
Royal London work hard to attract the best talent for our award winning team. We believe that embracing difference makes us stronger. Our diverse people bring us different skills – whatever their educational background, physical ability or disability, gender, age and sexual orientation. This has helped us grow into the largest mutual life, pensions and investment company in the UK with group funds under management of £130 billion. Our businesses provide around 8.8 million policies. And we have over 4000 employees across 6 sites in the UK and Ireland. (Figures quoted are as at June 2019).
Since 1861, when Royal London was founded in a London coffee shop, plenty has changed (although the popularity of coffee shops remains undiminished). First we were a friendly society then a mutual insurance company. We started out by helping people to avoid the stigma of a pauper's grave. We have been helping people to help themselves ever since.
To achieve our vision of becoming the most trusted and recommended financial company in the UK, we need to have a shared understanding not only of where we're going and why - – but how we're going to get there. This is where our culture and values come in. The specialist businesses that make up the Royal London Group are clearly positioned within their markets and our goal is to provide innovative solutions that match the needs of distribution partners and customers.
