At C R Toogood & Co Limited, we take great pride in being a reputable, reliable, and professional insurance brokerage firm. Our primary goal is to provide you with the best possible insurance cover that is tailored to your specific needs. With over 50 years of experience in the industry, we have established ourselves as one of the most prominent brokers for private and commercial insurances in the south-east of England.
Our story began in 1957 when Charles Toogood founded the business, laying down solid foundations and principles that have seen the company grow steadily over the years. Our strong ethos of personal service has been the cornerstone of our success, and we remain an independent family-run business to this day. As independent brokers, we are not tied to any insurance company or other organization, allowing us to provide objective and impartial advice.
We work with a diverse range of clients, from private individuals with high net worth to corporate clients with complex insurance requirements. Our private clients benefit from bespoke, high net worth insurance that truly protects what's important to them.

Our commercial clients benefit from our expertise in providing outstanding and unparalleled bespoke solutions for their statutory, financial, and tangible insurance requirements. We have a deep understanding of the unique risks that businesses face, and we work closely with our clients to provide insurance cover that meets their specific needs.
In addition to our insurance brokerage services, we also provide expert independent mortgage advice for everyone from first-time buyers, remortgagers through to experienced buy-to-let landlords. We have a team of experienced mortgage advisors who provide bespoke mortgage advice that is tailored to our clients' specific needs.
We are delighted to have been awarded the Corporate status of Chartered Insurance Brokers by the Chartered Insurance Institute. This 'Gold Standard' accreditation is a recognition of our excellence and integrity, and it reflects our commitment to the highest levels of customer advice, service, and on-going support. Our Chartered status provides an assurance that we uphold the highest standards of technical and ethical excellence in the insurance industry.
