A Brief History
1960s
Until Swinton.co.uk insurance came along, finding insurance wasn't easy. By the economic boom of the late 50's, when cars became affordable, demand grew for an insurance provider that was more accessible to the general public. It was in 1957 that Swinton.co.uk started to recognise the needs of the public by opening the first Swinton.co.uk branch in Salford, beginning a new way of buying insurance.
1970s
Awareness of Swinton.co.uk started to grow rapidly, through increased customer recommendation and their high street presence. However they needed to reach a wider audience.
Another milestone in bringing insurance into the public arena was being the first car insurer to advertise on TV. Due to this success they rapidly expanded in the North West of England to cope with demand.
1980s
With the increasing availability of insurance technology systems, they became one of the first car insurers to use a computerised quotation system and computerised all our customer records. This improved efficiency and gave them the opportunity throughout the 1980's to expand their branch network to the national presence they have today.
1990s
The early part of the 90's saw Swinton.co.uk become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Alliance, now known as Royal & Sun Alliance.
By the mid 90's they had begun to trade electronically with all our major car insurers. They opened their first national Telesales/Servicing Centre and introduced a freephone quotation line that linked all their branches to the call centre.
2000s
In May 2001 Swinton.co.uk was bought by La Mutuelle Du Mans Assurance (MMA), a French Insurer. Swinton.co.uk trade independently in the UK along with their sister company MMA UK, from this a stronger Swinton.co.uk emerged. Their business plan is constantly being reviewed and updated as they continue to develop their investment programme. They have already changed not just the look of Swinton.co.uk, but also the customer's experience of Swinton.co.uk. They have introduced a new corporate identity, corporate wear for all their advisors and a new customer friendly environment in all branches, with retail systems, to take them well into the new millennium.
In May 2002 Swinton.co.uk acquired Colonnade Insurance Brokers and became Swinton.co.uk Colonnade. This merger makes Swinton.co.uk Colonnade the biggest insurance broker on the high street, with branches covering 90% of the UK.
With continuous investment in their people, their service levels, their range of insurers and products, together with their ability to keep pace with a very dynamic market, they will secure their future as Swinton.co.uk Colonnade.
