At Compass, we like to do things a little differently. We have continually refined our partnerships and results-driven approach to provide real business benefits to independent insurance brokers nationwide.
As such, we are able to help members grow their businesses through enhanced collective strength, bargaining power and commissions.
Through Westinsure, we work with over 170 valued brokers to bid competitively for new business whilst enabling them to take advantage of an attractive portfolio of insurance products from respected providers.
Select meanwhile allows larger brokers to call upon exclusive, value-adding products, industry know-how and business support.
Based in the City of London, our team has developed expertise within a range of specialist markets and close working relationships with a network of managing agents and Lloyd’s syndicates.
