FCA-regulated insurance broker providing clear, practical advice to help clients manage risk and secure the right cover.
Experienced professionals committed to delivering exceptional service and independent advice

I founded Taurus with a very simple mission: to offer powerful insurance products combined with market leading service levels.
Insurance is perceived as an industry lacking in trust, we've set out to change that. Integrity lies at the core of our business and fundamental to every decision we make.
Our approach is modern, robust and efficient – human broking supported by impactful technology.
We're unencumbered by legacy practices and fully independent allowing us to truly put clients first.
We'd love the opportunity to show you what we can do!

As Chairman of Taurus, my job is to help drive the business forward. I have been in insurance for 30 years and sold my own business for £260m - unfortunately the tax man took a lot of that but that's life!
We are different to most insurance brokers because we will always put the client first- as I get older my observation is that talking to a human being seems harder and harder.
At Taurus- we combine the human factor with technology- any of our clients can talk to us whenever they need to.
I think we can give a different prospective view to clients be it commercial or private.
Please give us the opportunity to show what we can do re your insurance needs.

A self-regulated insurance industry could lead to a lack of consumer trust, brokers have told Insurance Age, as they called for a reduction in compliance costs and improving the efficiency of the Financial Conduct Authority instead.
In its first six weeks, Taurus has brokered more than £100mn of UK real estate insurance.
From FCA authorisation, to 'great wins', to ambitious future growth plans - the co-founders discuss their journey.
