About Us
TEn was incorporated in September 2004 and launched February 2005…
TEn is a network of insurance brokers that places the interests of the end-user client first and foremost, then the interests of its members run a close second. All other thoughts and actions come some way below and behind these two overriding considerations.

Our History
Founded by three brokers and a technologist, combining between them over 165 years of market experience. The industry time-served by the current leadership team is hardly less, despite the original entrepreneurs having all retired from front-line duties, although a couple linger on as non-execs.
TEn has always grown organically, with the understanding that for small independent businesses to survive and prosper, many of them will require a responsible ‘bigger brother’ to lend them a helping hand from time to time, and/or from day-to-day.
Our Origins
In 2005, TEn was very simply a privately owned company, with all of the shares split more of less equally between the founding directors. Over the next few years, some early staff joiners were invited to participate in the ownership. Nevertheless, the ultimate game-plan remained. One day, after 5 years or so, the company would be floated, merged or sold.
Clearly, this never happened for reasons that were in part idealistic and, in part, pragmatic. By 2012, there were indeed other organisations interested in acquiring the company, but we had come to believe in our own publicity, in respect of being a champion of the small broker.
