Who we are

 The importance of obtaining the correct advice is all too often underestimated, with poor or inadequate insurance only realised after the event – by this time it is too late. Sutcliffe & Co has a highly experienced team of specialist commercial and personal lines insurance brokers to look after your insurance requirements and take the burden of insurance off your shoulders.

Since 1984, Sutcliffe & Co has been trusted with arranging insurance for many thousands of business and private clients across the UK from our base in Worcester. The Sutcliffe family have been insurance professionals for four generations and recognises the importance of personal service.

We work alongside our sister company, Mann Broadbent, which specialises in sports & leisure insurance, in order to provide a full service for all our clients. Our goal is to always provide you with the right insurance that fits your unique needs.

The hallmark of our business is and will remain, the provision of our personal service.
