Rigton are a firm of Chartered Insurance Brokers regulated by the Financial Services Authority. We are based at Chevin House, a spacious and modern open plan office premises, in the heart of Guiseley, north west of Leeds.

For over 30 years, 22 of which have been in Guiseley, we have focused on providing bespoke services to our clients and we have enjoyed continuous success nationwide. This success has been built on understanding that personal service together with professional advice is paramount to businesses today - which is why we have clients insured through us for over 20 years.

Our objective is to place business with secure insurers who can be relied upon to provide sound service and handle claims in a fair and competent manner. With us you can always speak to the same experienced Broker and receive personal service.

We are not owned by an insurer, we are not committed to offering quotes from a small panel insurers, we can offer policies with hundreds of insurers. We are free to place cover with the best insurer for you.

Using the most up-to-date technology and with access to the UK’s top insurers as well as specialist providers, including Lloyds of London, you can always be assured of getting tailored and independent advice to suit your needs in a way that is understandable to you.

Treating our customers fairly

We have been awarded the prestigious Chartered Insurance Brokers designation by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

This is the industry’s gold standard for firms of insurance brokers. It confirms that we have satisfied rigorous qualification criteria in terms of retaining highly-qualified staff who subscribe to the membership conditions of the CII.

It also involves a commitment to continuing professional development and adherence to an industry standard Code of Ethics and Conduct. You can view the Code at www.cii.co.uk within the section on Membership.

When you use a Chartered firm you are dealing with proven professionals. The CII is empowered by the Privy Council to award Chartered status, and the award is only made in deserving cases. And while Chartered titles are steeped in history, they remain the benchmark of professional excellence and integrity.

Only the UK’s premier insurance broking firms qualify for Chartered status. If you wish to know more about how using a Chartered firm can ensure you get the best possible advice, service and support, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Chartered status – what it means for you

It means you can be confident that you are dealing with one of the UK’s leading firms that is wholly committed to providing you with the best possible advice, service and support.

We are proud to be recognised for our adherence to the highest standards, where genuine professionalism has never been so valued, or necessary, in the fast moving and competitive insurance market.

At the heart of our company philosophy is the promise to treat our customers fairly. We keep to the following principles:

Principle 1: Customers can be confident that they are dealing with a firm where the fair treatment of customers is central to the corporate culture.

Principle 2: Products and services marketed and sold in the retail market are designed to meet the needs of identified consumer groups and are targeted accordingly.

Principle 3: Customers are provided with clear information and are kept appropriately informed before, during and after the point of sale.

Principle 4: Where customers receive advice, the advice is suitable and takes account of their circumstances.

Principle 5: Customers are provided with products that perform as we have led them to expect, and the associated service is of an acceptable standard and as they have been led to expect.
