An introduction to Burgesses
Burgesses is Europe’s oldest independent Unemployment Insurance provider with a heritage of protecting people against financial ruin in a crisis that goes back over 114 years.
Known as a safe pair of hands we are financially sound with impeccable credentials and business ethics, and are one of the insurance industry’s most trusted and respected Unemployment Insurance providers, as well as being an outstanding consumer champion.
We were one of the first to launch Unemployment Insurance and our level of knowledge, experience and expertise in this area is unrivalled. Our cover is more extensive than virtually any other on the market – providing a cash boost to people who have lost a salary, whatever their situation, and not confined, as is common, to just those taking out a loan, mortgage or credit card.
Burgesses can deliver market-leading policies, benefits, costs and support services because we have unique relationships with Lloyd’s Underwriters and the wider London Insurance Market. We are able to leverage these relationships in order to refine our portfolio in line with consumers’ needs.
Our high ethical and moral standards dictate we plough profit back into our products, in order to keep premiums low, and reward those who distribute them. We also invest in technology to ensure people can easily access and buy online innovative policies that provide a financial lifeline when unemployment occurs.
It is easy to profess to delivering outstanding products and services, but far harder to prove. This is why we ask third-parties to scrutinize both our policies and business and encourage them to draw their own conclusion.
We have won accolades for our customer focus and service, insurance provision, ethics and corporate social responsibility. We’ve been recognised as an ‘Ambassador’, ‘Consumer Champion’ and applauded for our personal achievement within this sector. One of our most recent accolades – the Crème de la Crème Award – is only given to business leaders that are considered to be truly inspirational. On top of that, we’re also a Guinness World Record Holder. Most importantly, however, we have never received a justified product or service complaint, a track record of which we are very proud.
