About us

Intellectus Insurance Brokers

The insurance landscape has changed significantly in recent years, with many providers moving towards online and call-centre-based solutions. While these models can offer convenience, they often lack the personal insight and tailored advice that many businesses require.

For business owners, understanding the right level of cover, identifying potential risks, and ensuring policies remain fit for purpose can be complex and time-consuming. This is especially true for new businesses navigating insurance requirements for the first time.

At Intellectus, we take a different approach. We believe that effective insurance advice starts with understanding your business, your objectives, and the challenges you face. By combining technical expertise with a personal service, we help our clients make informed decisions and build insurance programmes that provide lasting protection and peace of mind.


A Personal Service to be Proud of

Intellectus Insurance Brokers Ltd was founded on a simple belief: insurance works best when it's built on understanding and trusted relationships.

The name Intellectus comes from the Latin word for understanding, which sits at the heart of everything we do. By taking the time to understand our clients, their businesses, and their goals, we're able to deliver insurance solutions that offer real value and long-term protection.

We're proud of these principles and look forward to continue supporting both those who have trusted us in the past and new clients for years to come.

Co Founder & Director


Since entering the insurance industry in 1993, I have gained extensive experience working across both insurance broker and insurer markets. This breadth of knowledge enables me to provide informed, practical advice and bespoke insurance solutions designed to protect businesses and their assets.

At Intellectus, we believe that understanding our clients is the foundation of good insurance advice. While many firms have moved towards increasingly automated services, we continue to value personal relationships and direct client engagement.

By taking the time to understand your business and its unique risks, we can provide tailored protection and ongoing support that evolves alongside your needs. It's an approach that has helped build lasting client relationships, and one that remains central to our business today.

Pete Phillips

Co Founder & Director


With over 30 years of industry experience spanning both insurance brokers and insurers, I have developed the knowledge, insight, and expertise needed to provide informed, tailored advice to businesses of all sizes.

As the insurance landscape continues to evolve, personal service has become increasingly rare. Yet many businesses still benefit from having a trusted adviser who takes the time to understand their operations, risks, and future ambitions.

At Intellectus, we believe that the best insurance solutions are built on understanding. By meeting our clients, learning about their businesses, and developing long-term relationships, we can recommend protection that is carefully aligned to their needs, providing confidence, security, and peace of mind.

This commitment to personal service remains at the core of everything we do.

"We pride ourselves on understanding our clients and their business"
