Established in Bolton in 1965, Ives & Taylor has grown steadily year on year, building a loyal client base and establishing many long-term relationships with local businesses.
The company is independently owned by its three directors, Mark Betts, Steve Buckley and Anthony Procter, who are all actively engaged in the business and backed by a highly experienced, long-serving team.
Today, we are recognized as an independent broker dedicated to promoting the highest standards in all areas of our business.
Ives & Taylor Insurances Ltd became members of the Willis Towers Watson Networks in 2001, giving us access to all the major insurers and enabling us to pass on even greater benefits to our clients.
Membership of the Willis Towers Watson Networks has given us access to a range of global facilities, usually only available to larger brokers, giving us the leverage to negotiate the best prices and levels of cover, and enabling us to provide clients with even greater levels of expertise, professionalism and value.
With links to all the major insurers and specialist underwriters, we can provide the highest levels of cover, with enhanced wording if required, and can draw on the Willis Towers Watson Networks buying power to negotiate the best possible terms.
This all adds up to an unbeatable proposition, enabling our clients to enjoy the best of both worlds: global insurance products delivered by local insurance specialists with your best interests at heart.
