Ultimately, we make the right products easy to find for the people who are looking for them. So everyone gets what they want.

ROCK are Smart

We're Smart

At ROCK we challenge the conventional ways of providing insurance. But we’re not into change for change’s sake. We’re always looking at new ways to offer new things that add greater value. So you can be sure we’re always pragmatically working in your best interests.

Smart means listening too. We monitor the market and talk to our customers, clients and partners to ensure better planning, better products and better pricing.

ROCK are Agile

We're Agile

Insurance markets are changing so rapidly today that insurers need to be able to act fast. Success lies in constant adaptation and innovation and often in thinking ahead of the market.

That’s why, for us, our agility is another key point of difference. We have shown again and again that we can move faster to get new solutions in place for our partners. We can innovate new products for consumers and shift emphasis with real speed.

ROCK are Positive

We're Positive

We have a very positive collective mindset at ROCK. We always aim high, believing there is a solution for everything. To us, problems are opportunities to find a better way.

This means that rather than say ‘we can’t do that’, we prefer to ask ourselves ‘how can we make that happen’. And then we do. It’s what attracts so many progressive businesses to us.

Our Story

ROCK Insurance Group was founded in 2001 as a forward-looking insurance brokerage business. Our goal was simple: to provide the travel sector with smarter, more agile insurance affinity solutions.

That’s what we’ve done. Today we are a multi-million pound business driven by state-of-the-art technology and a full understanding of the synergies of travel, insurance, product placement, customer journey, brand, distribution, technology and staff.

Our mission is to anticipate, meet and exceed our partner requirements, whether they be for traditional product lines, complimentary products or expansion into new markets.

ROCK operates within both Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C) markets and our growth has been both organic and through acquisitions. In the last five years alone, we have acquired MRL Insurance, 24 Dr Travel and AIS Direct.

ROCK has also launched a range of specialist propositions. These include a comprehensive suite of Financial Failure insurance for tour operators, agents and others who provide travel products to end customers. Similarly, our CDW Excess Protection has become a mainstay of the sector.

We are proud of the achievements our unwavering commitment to innovation has made possible. You can be sure this will continue.
