At The Exeter, protection has always been personal. Founded back in 1927, this member-owned mutual insurer started with a simple mission to help everyday working people access affordable healthcare. Based in the heart of Exeter, they’ve grown from a small local society into one of the UK's most respected names in health insurance, life cover, and income protection.

Unlike traditional insurance companies, The Exeter doesn’t have shareholders to pay. Instead, they reinvest their profits into better cover, fair pricing, fast claims support, and real service that puts people first. That’s the advantage of a truly member-focused approach — and it’s a philosophy that’s been at the core of the organisation for nearly 100 years.

Over the decades, The Exeter has evolved, modernised, and expanded its offering, but its purpose has never changed: to support people when life takes an unexpected turn. Today, thousands across the UK trust The Exeter for protection that feels fair, human, and genuinely supportive — the way insurance should be
