About Hastings
Founded in 1996 in Bexhill-on-Sea on the Sussex coast, the
Hastings Group is one of the fastest growing general insurance
providers to the UK market, with 2.7 million live customer policies
and employing over 3,400 colleagues at sites in Bexhill, Leicester,
Gibraltar and London.
Hastings provides refreshingly straightforward products and
services to UK car, bike, van and home insurance customers with
around 90% of policies directly underwritten by its Gibraltar based
insurer, Advantage Insurance Company Limited.
Hastings Direct is a trading name of Hastings Insurance Services
Limited, the Group's UK broker, which also trades via 'Hastings
Premier', 'Hastings Essential', 'Hastings Direct SmartMiles',
'People's Choice' and 'insurePink'.
The Group operates as an integrated insurance provider with two
businesses. The Group's Retail business, Hastings Insurance
Services Limited, is responsible for the end customer pricing,
fraud management product design, distribution and management of the
underlying customer relationships. The Group's Underwriting
business, Advantage Insurance Company Limited, engages in risk
selection, underlying technical pricing, reserving and claims
handling.
Retail is supported by, and benefits from, Underwriting's
prudent approach to risk and reserving and also benefits from a
panel of insurance partners who provide additional underwriting
capacity. The Group's integrated model deliberately separates
underlying product manufacturing from its distribution.
