Trading since 1982, Thornhill Insurance are one of the few family run insurance brokers in the North of England.
When Chairman Brian Thornhill set up the business, he was, at the time the youngest registered insurance broker in the UK and now, into its second generation, the business continues to thrive.
With a strong team headed up by Managing Director Lucy Thornhill, Brian’s daughter, the business is striving to be technologically advanced, whilst still very much remaining a service led and friendly business.
“Even after 37 years of trading, we are continuously developing to ensure we offer the very best service and products for all of our clients.”
— Brian Thornhill
We pride ourselves on taking the time to understand each client’s needs, offering bespoke products to suit every individual and offering a personal service that is second to none.

Comprehensive support
I have been at Thornhill Insurance for about 27 years meaning I’ve got an extensive personal lines knowledge to really be able to help our clients sort all their insurance needs.
Clients at the heart
Having previously worked for a large corporate organisation, I love the personal touch I can offer all the clients we deal with at Brian Thornhill’s. Really putting them at the heart of everything we do!
Every day is different
Every day is different in my role. New clients and products, familiar clients and faces. This is what has kept my job interesting, and me at Thornhill's, for over 30 years.
Personal service
I always try to go the extra mile to ensure we offer the best service for our clients and always take the time to understand the individual needs of their business. I once climbed some scaffolding to just to obtain a signature from a busy client. I think that’s what you call personal service!
Supreme client service
As a Director in our business, I manage our team by encouraging them to realise there are no limits to our development, but at the same time, always maintaining a supreme client service.
Retire? Never!
People ask me when am I going to retire… and I tell them, never! After over 40 years in the business I still can’t wait to get to the office every morning.
