About Norwich Union
Norwich Union is part of Aviva plc which is one of the world’s largest insurance groups and the biggest in the UK. Its main activities are long-term savings, fund management and general insurance. Over 30 million people worldwide are customers of Aviva. The Aviva group was formed by the merger of CGU and Norwich Union in 2000. The group’s general insurance business in the UK still operates under the name Norwich Union.
Norwich Union’s core value is to deliver excellent customer service by having strong relationships with its customers and providing a wide-range of products.
Norwich Union’s origins stretch all the way back to 1797 when Thomas Bignold founded the “Norwich Union Society for the Insurance of Houses, Stock and Merchandise from Fire”. Soon after he established the “Norwich Union Life Insurance Society” to sell life insurance products. Now it is one of the biggest insurance companies in the world having paid out to policyholders after such disasters as the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and the Great Storm of 1987 as part of Aviva PLC. When Norwich Union demutualised in 1997 it raised £2.4 billion in the share offer which was the largest sum ever raised by a British private sector flotation at the time.
Norwich Union offers 3 core insurance products aimed at small to medium businesses in the UK at present. These are:
- Landlords insurance – Whether you just need a minimum level of cover for one property or whether you have a large portfolio of properties for which you need to insure against loss, Norwich Union can tailor its Landlord product to suit you. The landlord policy will protect you against loss of revenue, from legal challenges from your tenants, and of course it will protect the property itself in case of damage or disaster such as fire.
- Office Insurance – Combining many essential covers into one insurance product tailored especially for small/medium businesses operating from offices. It covers the office itself, theft of items from the office and provides the legally required employer’s liability cover that every office is required to have by law.
- Self Employed Insurance – For small/medium businesses operating from home or 3 rd party sites this product provides you with all the protection that you require. Combining the required employer’s liability cover along with many other covers to help protect your business against unforeseen loss or disaster.
