We are Vista Insurance, an award-winning independent specialist insurance broker.
We are based in Manchester, Birmingham and London and came together in 2014, when our founding partners left senior management roles at a major broker, to set up an exciting challenger brand that did things a little differently.
We have come a long way since those days. And while we still dare to be different, we have also grown the breadth of our expertise, providing specialist advice in a range of areas:
- Private Equity
- Contracting, including Oil and Gas
- Specialist Risks for the Construction sector
- Technology and Life Science
- Logistics, Wholesaling and Fulfilment
- Retail
- Manufacturing, including specialisms in Glass, Automotive and Chemicals
- Creative Industries
- Hospitality
- Private Clients
We also partner with skilled international brokers, as part of our global reach. It’s quite a list, but our team has the knowledge and skills to excel in each area, providing specialist, bespoke advice that mitigates risk, and perfectly suits your needs - both in the moment, and as you evolve and grow.
Our straight talking approach sees us forge long-term relationships with our clients, who trust us to keep costs under control, while protecting their assets and investments, helping them sleep better at night, and embrace the future with clarity, and confidence.
