About Harborough Portas

Established since 1978, Harborough Portas is an independent and privately owned commercial insurance broker that truly provides a one-to-one approach in the way we do business.

The badge says it all

We take professionalism seriously but that’s not enough. We also care about people and about doing the right thing. That’s why we became Chartered Brokers in 2014, to demonstrate our commitment to delivering a quality service to you, whilst developing our team and their careers.

Chartered status brings with it a range of ongoing responsibilities that we are required to uphold to ensure that the advice, service and ongoing support we provide you is:

  • Of the highest standard
  • Based exclusively on your researched needs
  • Provided by a professional operating at the correct level of proficiency

In order to achieve Chartered status we had to satisfy a number of rigid qualification criteria in addition to a commitment to the industry standard Code of Ethics. This includes:

  • Continual development of all our personnel, ensuring their level of professional knowledge is always informed, accurate and relevant
  • Encouragement and support of our teams to undertake individual technical and professional qualifications
  • Ensuring the majority of our customer-facing colleagues are registered members of the CII and adhere to its Code of Ethics and Conduct

One-to-One Approach

Our relationship with insurers allows us to obtain the best covers at the most competitive price even when competing with the National and Multinational Brokers.

As an independent broker, we believe that a one-to-one approach is always the best way to do business. We demonstrate this by providing you with a fully qualified and experienced director of the business who will be your single contact point for everything from quotes to claims and will be happy to go the extra mile to find you the best deal.
