Who we are

Who we are

Glemham was established in March 2006 by John Cross and Tim Lockwood to offer Property, Liability and PI insurance directly to a select number of specialist and regional brokers.

Since then we have grown a £5m income portfolio, with broker relationships ranging from a single risk to accounts worth £1m and more. We’ve expanded our underwriting and back office teams to grow with the business, and ensure we remain one of the highest quality underwriting service providers in the UK.

We have fully delegated underwriting authority from some of the largest and most secure insurers in the Lloyd’s and company markets, including Argo, Aviva and MS Amlin. Where we can’t underwrite a risk ourselves, we also have parallel relationships with carriers to place covers on your behalf, should it be needed.
