In 1993, a joint venture was created with South Staffordshire Water in response to a perceived gap in the home emergency market. Home insurers did not offer customers a complete home emergency solution. With this in mind, the HomeServe vision - to offer customers home emergency related insurance products, and give them peace of mind - was born.
From selling the first plumbing and drains policy in 1994, the business has transformed into a successful, fast moving FTSE 250 company, with over 9 million emergency insurance policies sold across the UK, France, Spain and the US. Partnerships have been formed with utility, energy and insurance companies.
