About swiftcover.com:

Based in Send, near Guildford and employing over 200 people,

www.swiftcover.com was born out of a desire to revolutionise the general insurance market. swiftcover.com started trading in June 2005, jointly owned by the founding management team and international insurer Primary Group.

swiftcover.com offers car, travel and pet insurance online, and is Britain's only insurance company without call centres, which means that the cost savings can be passed directly onto the customer and premiums are kept low. As a result, swiftcover.com was voted cheapest car insurance, on average, by moneysupermarket.com in 2007.

This powerful operating model combined with successful marketing and competitive pricing has proven to be a tremendous success.  Last year swiftcover.com sold more than 312,000 policies and is considered to be the fastest growing insurer in the UK.

In 2007, AXA UK acquired swiftcover.com.  It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Insurance UK PLC which forms part of AXA Group.
