Esure Services

Mr Wood pioneered the direct selling of insurance over the telephone back in 1985, when he launched Direct Line. With esure, his aim was to go a step further and harness the efficiency of the Internet to give a better deal to responsible drivers and careful homeowners. From the outset, our goal was to offer superior service - on both the internet and phone - while using technologically advanced systems and underwriting to keep premiums low. In just a few years, esure became one of the fastest growing insurers ever, with over 1 million customers joining us before our 5th birthday.

Overall, esure has received numerous accolades for the quality of our cover and online services as well as our innovative marketing. The company took another major step forward with the launch of the Sheilas' Wheels brand in 2005, initially offering just car insurance. Sheilas' Wheels has gone on to be one of the most recognised female insurance brands in the UK.
