about our company

Let us help you plan, plan, prepare and protect

Holgate Corporate Risks is a long established and respected independent wholesale broker whose ownership has been with the same family for well over 30 years. Our philosophy has always been to provide the quality insurance products and standard of service our supporting broker partners expect and deserve.

Peace of mind

As a long established broker, you know you’re in safe hands

=

Family run business with values

As a family business we value support, security and respect, traits that are central to our philosophy

Our close proximity to The City of London, coupled with our shareholding in a Lloyds broker, means we can react to those risks that require specialist and niche underwriting expertise. 

We only trade with a finite number of brokers, thus enabling us to offer an element of exclusivity – a trait so often overlooked by our competitors – as opposed to just a  broker collecting’ exercise.

"They have benefited us over the years."

"Invicta Insurance Partners" was a new venture when Holgate were one of the first to offer us a trading facility. I have to say that their Underwriters have a positive approach and always look for ways to do business rather, than reject things out hand. Their positive approach and placement strategy has benefited us over the years. We intend to support Holgate going forward based on our relationship and their commitment to innovation.
