Meet the team
Insurance does not need to be difficult or complex. Let’s meet over a brew or jump on a zoom call. Our simple process allows you to make informed decisions about your own insurance. The right insurance = Peace of Mind.

Personalised insurance protection for the rainy days
Providing Coverage for Over 20 Years
Canterbury Insurances started in 1988 when the internet barely existed. The business was built on old-fashioned good service. Most of our clients, then and now, come to us through referrals. We still hold those same principles dear, whilst embracing all the technology opportunities of modern business.
Our Mission
To keep you and your family protected and safe. We work hard to treat everyone as we would love to be treated.
Our Vision
We specialise in the provision of personalised insurance advice and services for you. We’re not a ‘jack-of-all-trades’, we keep our areas of expertise tight so you get the best help and the best policies.
What We Offer
Simple, reliable cover – wherever you are, whatever happens. Claiming is made easy and you’re never paying for premiums you don’t need.
Low Rates And The Best Quality
Not all insurance policies are made equal. We take the time to listen and understand your needs and give you cover that works. A cheap price won’t matter if a policy leaves you exposed.
Customised Plans
Every client needs somethign different. You will not be ‘buying off the peg’ with us. We will customise your cover and style of policy to meet your individual needs.
Premium Customer Service
As a business built on referrals we are local, approachable, and always put you first. You will be personally looked after and we’re at the end of the phone for any questions.
