It is not surprising that many people in our industry have never heard of the Worshipful Company of Insurers (WCI). If they have, they might harbour the mistaken idea that the Livery represents some form of secret society. In reality The WCI, like all the Livery Companies govern themselves very discreetly and raise significant charitable funds. It is estimated that all the Livery companies dispense donations of more than £42 million annually.
The Worshipful Company of Insurers was founded in 1979, and is located at The Insurance Hall at 20 Aldermanbury, in London. The Livery’s motto is: OMNIUM DEFENSOR, which translates as “Protects All”.

Membership of the Company is limited to persons who are members of the Chartered Insurance Institute or who are eligible by virtue of being mainly engaged in the business of insurance.

To be admitted to the Freedom of the Company, a person must be proposed and seconded by two members of the Livery, one of whom should also be a Court Assistant.
