Same team, same great service.
On the 28th March 2024, Scrutton Bland Insurance Brokers was purchased by Jensten Group and will join Jensten owned, One Broker Insurance, as we pursue a regional and specialist centres of excellence strategy, focussed on growing both a broader regional footprint, and a larger number of specialisms.
Tim Mulley, Director at Scrutton Bland Insurance Brokers will continue to lead the business, commented: “It was important to us that we join a business with a good cultural fit and a clear focus on clients. It was evident right from the beginning that this was the case with Jensten and One Broker. We have a strong presence in the East Anglian region and preserving that local connection with our clients was important for us. We wanted to join a business that was able to support our growth, offer continued stability to our clients, at the same time as genuinely appreciating the significance of preserving our regional connection.”
Scrutton Bland insurance brokers work with both commercial and private clients to deliver a personalised service underpinned by over 100 years’ experience and the desire to ensure clients have the cover they need when they need it most.
For Business
We understand every business is different, and that getting the right cover in place is a big part of helping you feel secure. We can access the UK’s leading insurers to find the right cover for you – whether that is for a straightforward employer’s liability policy or more complex risk management advice.
Many of the team have specialist knowledge of certain sectors including agriculture, transport, construction, and manufacturing, and can advise on cover that’s relevant to your area of work.
For Charities
Through our specialist charity scheme, we offer policies with exclusive terms to over 500 charities, not-for-profit and voluntary organisations. Our dedicated team has over ten years’ experience in providing bespoke insurance solutions to clients operating in the sector, harnessing their expertise to protect clients against the various risks they face.
With their own personal connections to the charity sector, each of our specialists has a vested interest in looking after the unique needs of their clients.
For Private Individuals
Our dedicated service for private individuals is just as bespoke – we take the time to understand precisely what you need and then assess the whole market to find the solution.
As your insurance broker, we can help with home or car insurance, or help you to protect your business or charity. Our private client advisers use their experience and expertise to identify the type of cover you need.

What Our Clients Say
Scrutton Bland really came through for is
As a new social enterprise who deals with especially challenging people in challenging situations, it was extremely difficult for us to find the insurance we needed. We were turned down by many insurance companies and were having difficult conversations as to whether we could continue. But, on a recommendation, we reached out to Scrutton Bland who used their unique skills to find us not only insurance that met our needs, but at a perfectly reasonable price. Scrutton Bland really came through for us. Now we can move forward with helping others in our community.
Ensured that we get the best value for money
We have worked with Scrutton Bland as our insurance agent for a number of years. They have always been very supportive, helpful in terms of advice and visit when there are significant issues raised by the Insurers. Additionally each year they have always ensured that we get the best value for money in relation to the premium to be paid.
